Overview
The University of Edinburgh is undertaking preliminary market engagement to improve our understanding of current and emerging supplier capabilities, products and solutions for a Student Record Platform.

This includes supporting areas such as exceptional circumstances, scholarships and assessment and progression,with the aim of delivering a more streamlined and effective solution. The University currently has contractual arrangements in place for its existing student record system.
This engagement forms part of longer-term planning and is intended to improve understanding of how the market is evolving, inform the University's business requirements and support the development of its strategic planning and any future procurement strategy. Please see the attached documentation for further information and details of the documents to be returned by interested suppliers.
