        "description": "PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITIONDe Montfort University currently has an established e-induction system in place for dealing with prospective student engagement with the University, covering issues such as course and accommodation enquiries.The University now wishes to engage with the market ahead of any possible future re-procurement to:a) understand at a high level what potential solutions do or do not exist in the marketplace for a Replacement Student E-Induction Solution for De Montfort University (DMU); b) understand what is the appetite or not of suppliers to provide such a Solution to DMU in the future;c) to provide the opportunity for suppliers to input into the design of any final Statement of Requirements (Specification) ahead of any full procurement (tender) situation that may take place in the future, and which is fair, maximises competition, prevents any subsequent aborted exercise occurring and maximises the benefits potentially subsequently deliverable to DMU (accepting that DMU reserve the right to may have to still insist on certain key ‘Must’s’ because of other specific processes, integrations, etc, effective at DMU and which will unavoidably impact on the make-up of any Requirements for this particular Solution as a result also); andd) gain a high level understanding of affordability.This process is anticipated to include the undertaking of presentations / demonstrations of solutions proposed by interested suppliers to the University.Please note, this does not represent a Call for Competition however, and so there is no commitment upon either party to enter into contract as part of taking part in this exercise. Rather, it provides for an open and structured framework by which early engagement of potential customer requirements and discussion over potential alternative solution proposals from suppliers in response to these can take place."
