Description

Bath Spa University (BSU) is undertaking a procurement exercise for an end-to-end timetabling and resource booking solution. Full details are available via our etendering system.

Total Quantity or Scope

BSU’s timetabling team manage all aspects of student timetabling, producing teaching timetables for all of the University's modules, individual, personalised timetables to staff who teach on timetabled module sessions and the students who are enrolled on them. BSU requires a solution for the management of their entire, end to end timetabling and resourcing process. The solution should provide functionality to digitise timetable planning and publishing activity, through a single platform which offers user self-service. The solution should provide automation of key processes and the integration of student data. All actions should be managed in-system, and there should be no requirement for manual activities in third-party applications. Room and resource booking functionality should be incorporated into the platform as an integrated software. Additionally, there should be integrated analytic functionality and the ability for users to define constraints as they apply to the timetable, integrated room booking functionality, and allow for one-off requirements. It is anticipated that any new solution will be implemented during 2025, and system fully live by the semester starting February 2026. Key integrations are required with our existing systems including: - Student Record System - Attendance Monitoring - Learning Analytics Platform - Virtual Learning and video conferencing platform - Lecture Capture and Recording Platform - MS Data Reporting Platform - Employee Records System - Workload Allocation Management System - MS and IOS Calendar functionality - Estate Management Platform which maintains room floor plan data.
