Internal Training Management System Soft Market Testing

Tender description

This is a Soft Market Test Exercise (SMTE) being conducted by the University of Southampton (the University), this is not an invitation to tender.<br /><br />Project Description<br />The University currently relies on manual processes, legacy systems, and a patchwork of tools, which do not effectively meet its training management needs. The University recognises the pressing need to address this issue, as it impacts staff development, compliance, and reporting.<br /><br />The University is seeking to modernise and enhance the management and delivery of internal training delivery for its approximately 5000 staff members. The University needs to be able to advertise a catalogue of courses for consumption by internal staff, students, and some specific external groups to register, attend and complete training, then to store and report on the resultant training records. All forms of training need to be accommodated from Face to Face to fully digital and asynchronous. The training will include mandatory training and cyclical training need to be supported for organisation wide requirements like Health and Safety, and area specific, specialist training. Various roles across the organisation need to be able to report on training activity.<br /><br />Please Note: The University is conducting this soft market testing exercise to allow interested parties, with appropriate experience, to outline their views and provide impartial information to the University with no commitment to themselves or the University. This is not a call for competition at this stage.<br />
