Why no open competition
Single Suppliers Technical Reasons; Additional Repeat Extension Partial Replacement
Published justification

This solution is deeply embedded within DMU's operational environment, with significant investment into the integration and compatibility of this product with our estate.

The platform has established integrations with:

Student Records systems

SAP Finance

Accommodation systems

Library systems

Sports systems

Student printing systems

Graduation systems

Online e-store

Replacing the current solution would require the reconfiguration and testing of multiple system integrations. We would need to arrange for data migration and transition planning, whilst developing new finance reconciliation processes. All of this would require extensive stakeholder engagement and staff retraining carrying significant project and technical resource commitments.
