What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionBath Spa University (BSU) have awarded a contract following an open procurement process for a Curriculum Management System (CMS), a software-based solution to manage tasks and processes relating to our portfolio of academic programmes of study. It will support the design, development, modification, management, quality assurance, governance and delivery of taught programmes and modules. The system will be structured to provide guidance to staff, direction of processes, helping to increase efficiency and improve institutional data quality. The curriculum management system will support the lifecycle of a programme, delivering a transparent workflow, recording and managing accurate data as a central repository of all programme related information. In addition to the development process, the CMS will support documentation, maintenance, timetabling, resourcing, and reporting associated with programme management and delivery. The solution will provide functionality to digitise curriculum design, modifications, operations, and publication, through a single information management system platform.
