Description

The University is sourcing a Service Provider for Student Engagement Portal.

The University of Bedfordshire currently uses a number of methods to engage with its students and several interfaces to share information and access data. Blackboard, the Intranet (LRWeb) and a mobile app are examples of this.

The aim of the project is to develop a student portal to be used by students across all the University campuses. It will provide a single screen containing links to all applications, web pages and sources of information and advice that are, and will be, used by students for their student experience. Students will be able to personalise the portal to suit their personal requirements. The portal will enhance the student experience by providing an intuitive interface to University systems and information, and by enhancing communication between the University and its students.

The portal will enable the University to deliver engagement information such as attendance and learning analytics.

We are looking for an external supplier who can provide a fully supported service, while being flexible in delivery to support any fluctuations through the academic year, including substantial peaks during 'Clearing'. Your solution will enable the University to deliver an outstanding experience for all audiences and throughout the student journey.

We require a supplier to provide a secure hosting environment, web development and support for the Student Engagement Portal
