Description

The University of Southampton is one of the UK's leading research institutions and is in the top 1 per cent of universities worldwide. There are currently in excess of 22,000 students on campus in the UK. Using conventional business metrics the University is a large enterprise with an annual turnover of £500m and a staff establishment in excess of 5,000 FTE.

The University's Strategy includes delivering excellence and an exemplary student experience in a sustainable environment. Our primary commitment is to support the delivery of that experience with the highest possible level of quality.

The Nursing & Midwifery Council ('NMC') published its new Education Standards for Student Supervision and Assessment in October 2018, and the School of Health Sciences' at the University of Southampton ('HS') nursing programmes were revalidated and approved against these new standards in February 2019. These programmes and standards will be fully implemented by HS in September 2019 and those students will need to be assessed against the new standards in January 2020.

It has been agreed between health care and education providers across the Health Education England South ('HEES') Region that all students will be assessed using the same documentation, the basis for which will be the Practice Assessment Documents ('PAD') produced originally by the Health Education England Pan London project and adapted for regional use by the HEES PAD Project.

The University of Southampton therefore is seeking to procure electronic practice assessment software solution that will enable us to deliver against the requirements set out above.
