Sydney University - Student Management Technology Solution

Overview The University of Sydney has issued this Expression of Interest (EOI) as a market exploration exercise to understand the current vendor landscape and available solution options for a modern Student Management System. This EOI does not constitute a commitment to purchase and does not obligate the University to proceed to a formal procurement process. About The broader project vision, should the University elect to proceed further, is to modernise the University's Student Management System to give students a seamless, engaging experience in managing their university journey, while equipping staff with the tools and systems needed to deliver efficient, high-quality administration. This vision aligns with the Digital Sydney 2032 Strategy, which aims to ensure every student experiences a connected and personalised education journey, supported by digital tools that encourage learning, growth, and success.
