Details

Maynooth University is seeking to procure a robust and configurable software solution to manage professional practice placements across its professionally regulated programmes. The management of these placements is a complex, multi-stakeholder process spanning the Schools of Nursing, Applied Social Studies and Education departments, with approximately 1,750 students placed annually across a wide range of local and national settings. This activity is supported by a substantial tutor cohort - approximately 500 in Nursing, 150 in Education, and 150 in Applied Social Studies — each requiring reliable tools to oversee and assess student progress. In addition to coordinating placement logistics, the University must meet the record-keeping requirements set by professional regulatory bodies, including detailed documentation of each student's placement site, hours completed, assessment strategies, and site evaluations. The University is therefore inviting tenders for new software to provide an effective, efficient, and scalable platform capable of managing the full lifecycle of professional practice placements across these diverse disciplines.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this financial & professional services opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
