Description

Sheffield Hallam University (SHU) is looking to purchase an off-the-shelf placement management system for the administration of up to 25,000 health and social care placement allocations each academic year.
Sheffield Hallam University wish to source a placement IT system that will support the efficient and effective administration of placements to student, and providers. We also wish to offer the opportunity for self-service to students, providers, and staff.

We plan to have fully implemented a new system by September 2019.

The aims of purchasing and implementing a placement management system are:

• To automate as much of the administration process as possible, reducing the amount of staff time and potential for human error in the process.
• Introduction of reporting to improve efficiencies with the process and to enable early intervention with potential problems and to be better able to forward plan.
• Ability to produce management information and introduce key performance indicators for the first time.
• Ability to have Management Information to inform decision making and strategy development
• Ability for students, providers and academic staff to self-serve, view data, enter data and documentation directly into the system.
• Improve the student experience by enabling earlier notification of placement allocations
• Enhanced capability to provide accurate and timely communication and information access to all key stakeholders.
This is a 5 year contract opportunity with 2 x 1 year extension periods (maximum contract term 7 years)
