Additional Information

.         The Ultranet was announced in Labor's Financial Statement 2006 as
a 
$60.5 million TEI project for Victorian government schools.

.         The Ultranet is a student centred electronic learning environment
that supports high quality learning and teaching, connects students,
teachers and parents and enables efficient knowledge transfer.

.         The Ultranet will:

o   Improve responsiveness to individual learning needs;

o   Provide better information to parents, the school system and Government;

o   Improve efficiency of the learning environment and school
administration;

o   Adopt an enterprise approach to intranet development; and

o   Exploit previous ICT investments.

.         The Department is confident that there is sufficient expertise and
interest in the market to deliver the project within the original budget of
$60.5 million TEI and by 
Quarter 3, 2010.

.         An independent market sounding exercise has informed the decision
to release the RFT to five software vendors through a selective tender
process.  The five vendors are Blackboard Australia Pty Ltd, Desire2Learn
Incorporated, Microsoft Australia, Oracle, and RM Asia-Pacific. 

.         The market sounding exercise and selective tender process meet
Victorian government probity requirements.
