The Sustainability Exchange invitation to tender

11th August 2011

The EAUC invites tenders for the creation of the Sustainability Exchange website. The Sustainability Exchange Project is an online network for all English Higher Education Institutions’ (HEI) personnel interested in sustainability issues. Its audience is anyone working in the education sector interested in sustainability.

Led by Staffordshire University, the Sustainability Exchange project is funded by HECFE and delivered by the EAUC. The EAUC are the point of contact for the tendering process. The Exchange will facilitate the sharing of information, best practice and resources through online communities, online learning and an interactive repository, in as many appropriate formats as possible. The site will use emerging and innovative ways to reflect the changes in how we now work and learn. This includes: webinars, downloads, online CPD, podcasts, videos, process development, e-learning, forums, ask the Expert and other interactive mediums. The focus will be on interactive, flexible and accessible information and communication systems.

It will commence on 12 September 2011 and will be completed by 1
February 2012 with the planned launch for the Sustainability Exchange
being January 2012.
