Project title: Assessor e-portfolio and Initial Assessment tool

1. Luton Borough Council is looking to engage qualified organisations to quote for :

Luton Adult Learning (LAL) is a training provider that offers a blended approach to delivery of courses and qualifications allowing a mix of face to face and online opportunities. LAL currently use an Initial Assessment tool and e-portfolio which are supplied by the same organisation.

LAL are seeking a software solution for managers, teachers, assessors and learners to be able to access a web based e-portfolio and for Initial Assessment tests to be sent out to potential learners. It would be preferable for the initial Assessment to integrate with the e-portfolio.

Currently LAL uses Smart Assessor e-portfolio and SmartVLE Initial Assessment tool. These are both contracted until July 2023 and procurement must be completed and ready for use at the start of the acdemic year in August 2023.

The solution will be used for approximately 800 learners and apprentices each year and working with a blended approach is an expectation from Awarding Bodies and Ofsted. Hosting 500 live learners.

Hosting of archived learner files is required.
