First published Tuesday, March 24, 2020
The University awarded a contract for SoN Electronic Simulation Management System to Education Management Solutions LLC, Exton, PA, for an estimated $191,646.
The University has a need to contract for Simulation lab equipment and software. This is needed to enhance training capability for SIUE's School of Nursing. The end result of this will be enhanced training capability. SIUE's School of Pharmacy already utilizes the EMS System, and using the same simulation hardware and software will afford full connectivity and collaboration with the School of Pharmacy for Inter-Professional Education experiences (IPE).
The university, on information and belief, has concluded that only one vendor can meet its need or can meet the need economically. That vendor is Education Management Solutions LLC. The university has provided detailed justification to support its conclusion as shown on the attached Sole Source Justification Form.
Although the university has presented this as a sole source procurement, we are seeking competitive information from firms with the capability of meeting the university?s need (even if performed in a manner different from what has been presented) to contact us and provide sufficient information to show the need can be met. If we receive that information, the Chief Procurement Officer will offer a public hearing to consider the matter. Hearing information is described below.
The University has determined that this purchase is only economically available from this source because the procurement is software license, upgrade or maintenance.
