Impact

Priority and Funding

  • IS Applications Project Priority - Normal
  • Funding - Sponsor Funded - 120 days

Impact and Dependencies

  • The project requires core systems approval before advancing past the procurement strategy stage and formally going out to tender
  • The project will liaise with the concurrent Student Enquiry CRM procurement for any potential overlap
  • The contract should be signed by the end of the 2019 calendar year
  • The working assumption is that Development and Alumni will look to sign an initial contract for ten years (unless a framework dictates a different length of contract)
  • The project has dependencies on Procurement Office resource and the IT systems and processes to be used for tender, managing bids and guiding the evaluation process
  • The project has dependencies on the Legal Department, Data Protection Officer and Information Security Officer resources for procurement/evaluation and contract advice
  • The project has dependencies on the Disability Information Officer to review Equality Impact Assessment, and perform accessibility testing on supplier systems under evaluation
  • The project will make use of the standard IS Applications question sets for software procurements, which are subject to change
