Published requirement description

The University of Westminster wishes to review its online reading list management system and approaches to reading lists in relation to teaching, learning and resource provision in alignment with the University's mission and strategic objectives. Following successful implementation of a reading list system in 2014 and subsequent embedding of reading list system into teaching and learning approaches, the University wishes to acquire a new contract for a reading list system which will continue and enhance the current provision.

The reading list software must cover the requirements listed in the tender documents and will enable the university to better support teaching and learning, student and academic engagement in resources, and support the acquisition and provision of resources.

A contract with a reading list system supplier will be required for 4 years initially to deliver this purpose and is intended to start April 2024.
