New Delhi: The NSW (New South Wales) Department of Education (DoE) is actively looking for new IT partners that can provide software solutions for their Administration Marketplace Panel for Schools (AMPS). The DoE is one of the biggest educational institutions and employs over 1.4 lakh people in NSW, Australia.

AMPS was launched in November 2022, and it is like an online store for schools that gives access to approved third-party software for school administration. The DoE recently offered companies to submit proposals. They want current AMPS suppliers to expand their offerings and are also looking for new suppliers who can meet certain requirements.

The DoE needs software solutions in five areas:

• Student administration solutions for managing student information.
• School management and operations solutions for school assets, resources and staff.
• Timetabling solutions to create class schedules.
• Parent communication and consent solutions to share information with parents and manage permissions.
• Student finance solutions for handling payments and financial transactions.
• The selected suppliers will join the AMPS panel after meeting integration, technical, and security requirements during the onboarding process.

Currently, there are 11 existing AMPS panel members, and their agreement is going to end on March 31, 2027. These members can extend their agreement by two or three years based on their performance.
