Vendors will likely need to showcase expertise in higher education technology, data management, survey design, and reporting capabilities. The system's scope suggests it will serve as a critical tool for academic performance evaluation, requiring a vendor with sophisticated technological capabilities and understanding of higher education assessment methodologies.
