Delivery Notes

Anglia Ruskin University is looking to appoint a supplier for the provision of a Student Placements Software as a Service (SaaS).

The University has many courses that require students to go on placement and a system that can manage the allocation, evaluation and audit of these placements is needed.

The system will need to be able to manage a variety of placements such as all types of health courses (nursing, midwifery, social work, paramedic etc.) including the complexity of the School of Medicine placements, as well as all other placements within the University including sandwich year placements and education placements. The different types of placements need to be managed concurrently throughout the organisation.

There is also a new HESA (Higher Education Statistics Agency) requirement for universities to report placement data and the new system needs to be able to meet these requirements among other external reporting requirements.

The agreement will be for 36 months from the go live date with the option to extend for 2 x 12 months.
