The university seeks preliminary market information from solution providers regarding online reading list systems and digital content solutions, with a view to assessing, on the basis of this, whether or not there is a business case for entering into a formal tender process.

We would like to hear back from you with an indication of the following costs:
a) annual costs (stated with and without VAT) for an online reading list system. The costs should reflect provision for all LTU students and staff, including those studying at partner institutions. Please provide these for the following calendar years:

b) If applicable, any initial implementation costs, including project management, data migration from existing system (currently Talis Aspire), staff training etc.
To assist with pricing estimation, the following states our proposed high level technical and implementation requirements. To enhance our understanding of possible solutions, we would be grateful to learn if and how your system differs from or does not meet any of the requirements.
