Description of the goods or services required

The ISS department of Swansea University is preparing for significant investment in systems over the next 3 to 5 years that will establish a modern digital experience matched to the current and future needs of education, research, innovation and partnership at Swansea.

The intended investment will result in broad based modernisation of the technology footprint and associated service provided to end users. Success will be that:

1. End users experience a recognisably best in class service in line with that of top quartile HEI institutions in the UK and internationally

2. Strategically, digital services enhance and amplify Swansea University ability to excel in the education, research and innovation that the institution provides

A refreshed Digital Strategy will be prepared to articulate how investment in digital and online services will be directed over the next 3 to 5 years. Some general principles of the refreshed strategy are already clear (e.g., buy in preference to build, platform-based architecture), however the strategy requires input from the Swansea University community, and there is an urgent need to elicit this input.

1. Understand the education and student experience needs from technology, digital and online services

2. Understand the research and innovation needs from technology, digital and online services

4. Incorporate this understanding into a draft Digital Strategy
