Abstract

To support the work that the Office for Students (OfS) undertakes, the OfS is looking to procure licences for, and to implement, software to assist the efficiency and effectiveness of our centralised business planning, reporting, and risk management processes, as well as the daily management of projects and programmes.

This tender is divided into 4 Lots. There are three distinct activity areas that require a system, but the OfS’ preference is for a single software solution that delivers all three requirements in a single enterprise system. Therefore, one of the lots represents the opportunity to bid for all three of the other lots combined in one system:

Lot 1 – Business Planning and Portfolio Reporting - Respond at https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/6JYCFCP272

Lot 2 – Project, Programme and Portfolio Management - Respond at https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/KD38S5SU36

Lot 3 – Corporate Risk Management - Respond at https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/78A989K6J2

Lot 4 – Single system that meets requirements of all three other Lots - Respond at https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/3CZTMNASW9
