In plain English
The University of Staffordshire wants to buy an employee engagement platform, a cloud-based software service that staff use to stay connected and involved with the organisation. The contract is worth £252,000 and runs for three years, with two optional one-year extensions. The platform must work with the university's existing Microsoft Office 365 systems.
What the buyer wants
• Provide an established, cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) employee engagement platform, meaning the software is hosted online and accessed over the internet • Integrate the platform with the university's existing Microsoft Office 365 environment • Ensure the solution can be developed further over time and remains future-proofed for the three-year term and any extensions
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice lists no specific pass or fail criteria, but it asks for an already established cloud software platform that integrates with Microsoft Office 365, which would most likely rule out small businesses that do not already own a working software product.
