Mass Communications and Personal Safety System

The procurement contact named on the official notice.

Leeds Trinity University (LTU) is gathering information to inform future purchasing decisions around a software package or module within a package that we can use for mass communications, to support personal safety on and off campus, to support lone working and for major incident management.

The system should also be able to support our Office for Students (OfS), E6 condition of registration compliance.

The number of licences required would be dependant on the costing model of the software, as an indication it is expected that the system will be used by ~4000 core students and ~500 staff.

The system would need to provide as a minimum: • A mature and well established method of mass communication, personal safety and critical incident management. • An online / cloud-based system that could be used through a single sign on by Staff and Students at LTU on and off campus. • An online / cloud-based system that allows mass communication with Staff and Students at LTU, in addition it would be advantageous if mass communications could be shared with users when they are at other organisations also utilising the same system. • Allow the ability to communicate with specific groups, e.g.

First Aiders, specific vulnerable groups directly • The ability to facilitate quick communications with specific groups and services, e.g.

Security • The ability to configure communications to suit LTU • The ability to check in and show locations for lone workers • The ability to integrate with other IT systems such as the CAFM system, SMS system etc, via and API or equivalent.
