The intended deliverable of this project, a Staff Learning Platform, is a key piece of the infrastructure TU/e needs in order to reach these ambitions. The future desired state can be summarized as follows:  

‘One online, user-centric, easy-to-use platform for all TU/e staff which hosts all L&D digital content, HR support, safety and compliance trainings, from all service departments, and manages all learning management support systems, data and processes.’  

The system must be able to support the present number of users, as well as being able to support the ambition of TU/e to increase it's staff numbers – therefore increasing the number of learners and administrators on the platform. At go-live (July 1st 2026) we expect there to be 7700 users and this is likely to increase to 8500 users by 2030. The Agreement has an initial term of four (4) years. The initial term starts after the successful completion of the Turnkey Delivery of the IT solution. After this initial term, the Client has the unilateral option to extend the Agreement three (3) times for a period of two (2) years. After these extension options have also been purchased by the Client, the Agreement can be extended for a period of twelve months each time by mutual consent of the Parties.
