After the completion of the tendering process, the aim is to design, build, configure and test the website rapidly, to enable this to be in service by early autumn of 2021. Subsequently, we expect to collaborate with the provider to add new features and content and to update the web site to ensure it keeps pace with the prevailing technology, and the expectations of out customers. It important to note that this requires an approach that is intuitive and appeals to the students themselves, but also to their parents and employers, as well providing both an effective resource (for staff and partners) and contributing positively to the image of the University.
