The University requires a digital peer to peer engagement platform for which this Invitation to Tender (ITT) is issued. Peer to peer engagement between current De Montfort University students and potential incoming students is an important element of the student recruitment journey. These interactions are face to face (at events, in schools and colleges etc.), via the telephone (outgoing telemarketing campaigns) and increasingly via numerous digital platforms. The business need is for these interactions to be as personalised as possible and to give potential students an opportunity to choose when they have the conversation and, importantly, who they have the conversation with. The platform we require must be able to integrate with our website (the hub of our digital engagement). It must be able to host a range of De Montfort University profiles to allow that element of choice for the potential student (they may choose to engage via nationality, course, gender, interest or a combination of these factors). It must offer a user-friendly interface for the potential student, usable via pc, laptop, tablet or mobile phone. It must offer a data capture element to capture leads to allow follow up communication by the Marketing and Communications Directorate. These leads must be able to be added to our SAP CRM system, either via a csv export from the platform and then a bulk import to our systems or via a direct integration. Full details of the University's requirements can be found in the Statement of Requirements (Schedule 2). Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No

Just under 85% of De Montfort University undergraduates fall within some metric or measure of 'social mobility'. This equates to approximately 19,500 students who face additional barriers and challenges to entry into graduate level work compared to students from more privileged backgrounds. In order to enhance the employability of our students we need to provide bespoke and targeted support for specific student cohorts. To complement the projects currently being undertaken for other 'at risk' student groups we seek to support disadvantaged male students who are shown through statistical data to be the least likely to succeed in accessing and completing a degree and subsequently succeeding in securing a graduate level role. Following a successful previous programme of delivery to support this aim, we now seek to engage a suitably skilled and experienced supplier to enhance the employability of our disadvantaged students by continuing to provide bespoke and targeted support for specific student cohorts.
