Digital Learning Environment Programme Curriculum Management System

The University of Otago is seeking a Curriculum Management System that enables the
University to streamline its paper management, improve our presentation of the curriculum, and to create a
sustainable and strategic data set to inform decision-making.

The procurement’s proposed outcomes are:

o To procure CMS SaaS based functionality, from a vendor with a clear roadmap of past and ongoing
commitment to develop the product.

o To ensure the CMS provides visibility and transparency of curriculum information for users, with
efficient processes and systems for management of curriculum information.

o To procure implementation and training consulting from the CMS preferred vendor.

o To procure extended capabilities from the preferred vendor (if not provided as core) to meet desired
requirements.

The University needs to manage our curriculum information in a more coordinated fashion, especially when
considering how this information could be used to inform the allocation of scarce resources in financially
constrained times and to develop of publications such as the Guide to Enrolment, University Calendar and
the University website to support enrolment and retention targets.
