Timetabling and Scheduling System

Bournemouth University (“BU” or the “University”) requires the services of a supplier for supply and implementation of a comprehensive Timetabling and Scheduling Solution, which is innovative, scalable, and user-friendly. The new system should cater to the unique requirements of higher education institutions, ensuring compliance with relevant SaaS data security and accessibility regulations.

The key objectives of the solution are to:

• Prioritise the enhancement of student experience and wellbeing.

• Improve data management and reporting.

• Ensure a seamless transition with minimal disruption.

• Extend access to devolved users for specified tasks.

• Offer robust integration with existing systems using modern integration mechanisms such as secure, standards-based APIs.

• Achieve condensed timetables to attract students who commute or work around their studies.

• Accommodate teaching staff with part-time hours and other approved restrictions.

The new solution should not only meet all current functional needs but also provide the flexibility to rapidly adapt to future changes in BU’s curriculum and delivery approach.
