UCA consists of 4 campuses (Farnham, Epsom, Canterbury and Rochester) each of which have ITS and LSS teams. These support teams serve approximately 1000 permanent colleagues as well as 4000+ students (with the intention that these student numbers will rise ~5-10% over 5 years. The current good practice in IT Services and LSS will be maintained and developed so that current service provision can be extended and enhanced. The proposal is not seeking to merge staff teams or to further devolve the provision of IT management within the University, rather it is seeking to achieve a consistent approach, provide an identified location for face to face enquiries and increase the opportunities to resolve general or routine incidents at an early stage. To facilitate this programme of change, UCA are planning to retire the 2 ticketing systems currently operated in the Libraries (Footfall Module) and IT (Manage Engine) and go to market to find a replacement that can be used cross-departments. The ultimate goal of the programme is to enhance the user experience such that referrals (instructing users to go to other support teams) are kept to an absolute minimum. Future developments may see the use of the tool extended further into the ‘back office’ functions of the university but as yet, are not agreed or planned. Further details are contained with the full ITT document attached. Additional information: Invitation to Tender Document has been updated to Issue 2 & Tender title increased to include ITSM. NEW: Tender Clarifications published in accordance with section 1.4.3 of the tender.
