This procurement will result in an updated eExams (eAssessment) tool and service for the University of Edinburgh. Supported centrally this service will be available across schools. Expected functionality will cover but not be limited to multiple question types, exam authoring workflows, marking workflows, feedback workflows for students, plus reporting and search facilities.
 We expect this service to be used by a wide range of stakeholders for exams, in-course assessment, and formative assessment. Stakeholders will include academics, administrative staff, and students from across the institution.
 The potential benefits to the University should align with the following.
 - Taking this timely opportunity to update the service when digital assessment is under great focus can result in a service that is fit for purpose, straightforward to use and will benefit the whole university.
 - A cloud-based service should reduce the complexity of upgrades/updates/patching and make it possible to do updates more quickly and frequently, with less downtime and fewer problems.
 - By procuring a system that is more fit for purpose the aim is to reduce the overall expenditure in this area and have a more sustainable service going forward.
 - Reduce the strain on the estate in the physical management of assessments. Managing more of our exams digitally would reduce our reliance on physical space and increase the flexibility with which we may schedule exams.
 - An e-exams solution would provide a more robust way of managing assessments electronically/remotely into the longer term as we change the nature of our assessments.
 - There is the potential for wider use of e-assessment throughout a course to support assessment for learning as well as opportunities for more diagnostic assessment and formative assessment, giving students more feedback on their performance and supporting their learning.
 - An e-exams solution will be beneficial not only to campus-based students but will also support the development of wholly online courses/programmes as well.
 The contract term in years will be 3+2+2.
