Soft Market Testing Exercise for Scholarship Management Software
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON's Software & IT Systems cycle is past due — it ran about every 6 months across 9 notices, and the door is open now. It may re-tender at any time.
43% of UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
The University of Southampton is conducting a soft market testing exercise to better understand the current Scholarship Management Software options.
The International Scholarships team manages multiple scholarships for the University, from application to award.
This includes the flagship scholarship of the University for international students, the Southampton Presidential International Scholarship.
Currently, many of the processes are manual, which presents issues with sustainability and scalability for the team.
The anticipated increase in applicants and ambitious targets for growing the University's scholarship portfolio year to year puts the team in a unique position regarding scholarship management software and its use in day-to-day operations.
We anticipate the software being used for the full cycle of awards, from application for housing and maintenance, to scoring, and to awarding these in our University's Banner system (if applicable).
We are also anticipating the software to store historical data for scholarship reporting to a wider University audience on an annual basis or ad hoc as requested from University executive leadership.
Please Note: The University is conducting this soft market testing exercise to allow interested parties, with appropriate experience, to outline their views and provide impartial information to the University with no commitment to themselves or the University.
This is not a call for competition at this stage.
The deadline for clarifications is 17th February 2025 12.00 Noon.
The deadline for questionnaire submissions is 24th February 2025 at 12.00 Noon.
