SaaS agreement for the delivery, integration, operation, maintenance, and support of a Learning Management System (LMS).
DTU's new LMS should offer a total package of learning tools and provide the ability to integrate with other solutions by known standards. It is the vision that a new LMS must be offered as a comprehensive and total learning platform that can facilitate the teaching and learning processes, and enable the beneficial use of digital elements on all programs for both DTU teachers and students.
A new LMS must include a learning functionality core, and furthermore act as a meeting point for third-party and/or proprietary learning applications to meet DTU's present and future needs. DTU expects that a future LMS must be thoroughly tested to e-learning environments, with high stability, in compliance with IT standards, generating value in a university context, and be future-proof. A new LMS will form the foundation to simplify processes in execution and administration of teaching and learning. The central student administration will continue to take place at a DTU system and will not be part of this tender. A new LMS should help to inspire teachers at DTU to try new teaching methods and share learning materials with each other and the world around DTU, and will focus on the pedagogical and didactic practices that ensure that all students are challenged. DTU wishes that the LMS will form the basis: — to support better learning for more students by offering modern, scalable, and flexible educational tools, with respect to the students' different backgrounds and learning preferences. — to secure the future of educational opportunities by integration with DTU's other IT systems and incorporate third-party learning applications. — for a better strategic decision making platform by providing system support for automatic gathering of data for developing education.
The total acquisition is purchased for a period of 4 years from signing of the contract, with the option to extend for 2 x 12 months.
The choice of candidates will be based on an assessment of the most relevant references compared to the specific delivery. The references must be stated in the European Single Procurement Document (ESPD), as described in the tender instructions.
— The candidate has a high number of relevant comparable deliverables to universities with the same scope and complexity as DTU (minimum 1 and maximum 5),
— The references show that the candidate can ensure the future and development of the LMS, including seeing trends in teaching and learning environments, and involve end-users as a channel for input and prioritization of development.
Description of up to five (5) of the candidates' principal references regarding contracts from comparable deliveries during the last three (3) years.
— The date of the delivery (the date of client acquisition and/or the date of Service Level Test approval),
— The client as well as the contact person at the client, including the telephone number of this contact person,
— The delivery itself, including actions initiated and/or implemented to ensure the future and development of the LMS delivered,
— How the reference and therefore the candidate comply with the minimum requirements below, including what makes the reference to a comparable delivery, if and how the reference concerns a comparable delivery to a university with the same scope and complexity as DTU.
The candidate must use the European Single Procurement Document as provisional evidence in replacement of certificates issued by public authorities or third parties confirming that the candidate fulfils the minimum requirement stated below with respect to the the standards required, and how the candidate fulfils the objective and non-discriminating criteria for prequalification, cf. § 148(1), cf. § 145(2) of the Danish Act on Public Procurement (act No 1564 of 15.12.2015 — available at www.retsinformation.dk).
