Description of the procurement

The National Adult Literacy Agency (NALA) invites tender submissions from experienced elearning providers to design, develop, manage and support a new elearning platform for NALA. The platform will be used by members of the public who want to improve and develop their reading, writing, numeracy and basic digital skills.
It is expected that the new platform will build on the success of NALA’s existing platform www.writeon.ie (WriteOn) by using the best of new and emerging technologies to:
a) improve the user experience for continued engagement; and,
b) support detailed reporting and analysis so NALA can improve the service offering and response.
NALA has an extensive library of SCORM content on the existing platform and it is essential that the new platform can import and present that content in a meaningful way to learners. The platform can be a custom build or an existing LMS customised to fit NALA’s needs, but it is important that the provider provides a solution that is a cohesive service including design, hosting, maintenance and consulting, working closely with NALA to meet user needs.
Our objective is to ensure that users have a successful experience when they interact with us online, and to work more effectively to support user needs.
