We will shortly be finalising the pedagogical and technical specification for an institutional VLE. One possible outcome of our review will be that we put the specification out to tender. If this happens I imagine that large commercial providers will respond. The question is, how do we include or enable open source systems to take part in this tendering process? Are there consultancies out there that do this sort of thing (a business idea here for someone?) or does a different sort of process have to be put in place alongside the normal tendering process? One idea might be to have a project team of some sort to locate and communicate with OS system users and developers and put together some sort of quasi-tender to put into the ring with those that come from commercial vendors.
I would be very grateful for any ideas on this or experiences you are able to share.
