Summary
1 This invitation to tender (ITT) invites proposals to undertake the technical investigation, development and hosting of Learning and Teaching Portal for UK higher and further education. The contract is for a period of two years divided into four phases each lasting six months.
2 The invitation is issued jointly by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) and the Learning and Teaching Support Network (LTSN), as the two partner agencies responsible for the portal. Any contract consequent on this tender process will be placed by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), acting on behalf of the funding councils collectively.
3 The portal development will need to take place in conjunction with ongoing content and service development taking place within the LTSN and it is expected that the successful bidder will work closely with the LTSN to deliver the appropriate services and content as required through the portal.
4 Bidders may sub-contract as they see fit, but the partner agencies wish to appoint one single developer to provide a unified technical solution.
5 The deadline for receipt of tenders is close of play on Wednesday 26th February 2003.
