e-Assessment Procurement · UK public procurement notice
Authority: University Of Edinburgh (Education)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThis procurement will result in an updated eExams (eAssessment) tool and service for the University of Edinburgh. Supported centrally this service will be available across schools. Expected functionality will cover but not be limited to multiple question types, exam authoring workflows, marking workflows, feedback workflows for students, plus reporting and search facilities.
We expect this service to be used by a wide range of stakeholders for exams, in-course assessment, and formative assessment. Stakeholders will include academics, administrative staff, learning technologists and students from across the institution.
The highest scoring 5 qualified bidders will be invited to the ITT stage.
In the event of a tie, bids will not share a ranking; therefore only in the event of a tie for 5th place will more than 5 bids be taken through to ITT stage.
A draft outline specification (for information only) will be attached in PCS-T to help guide bidders' response to the selection stage.

NOTE: In PCS-T, responses to 4C.1 should be given as clearly labelled attachments to this question. Responses for the remaining 4C questions should be clearly labelled and attached to the General Attachments area in the PCS-T. Suppliers must have regard for all statements when submitting responses.
SPD 4C.1.2 Statement (100%)
Bidders will be required to provide examples that demonstrate that they have the relevant experience to deliver the services/supplies as described in part II.2.4 of the OJEU Contract Notice.
Supply three example case studies of services carried out during the past three years that demonstrate experience in delivering bespoke applications of a similar scale successfully on time and on budget.
Responses may include customer feedback or supporting statements. Any customer used in responses must be willing to verify any supporting statements and should include relevant contact details.
*Each example case study will be scored separately and will be sub-weighted at 33.33% of the 100% weighting.
- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
