To enhance the existing safety and security of Glow, Education Scotland has a requirement to place a contract with an external service provider for the creation and ongoing support of a bespoke safeguarding product and services to function within Scotland's national digital learning platform known as Glow.

Education Scotland wishes to further strengthen the safety and security of Scotland's national digital learning platform known as Glow and has a requirement to place a contract with an external service provider for the creation and ongoing support of a bespoke safeguarding product and service to function within Glow.

Glow offers a number of different services to support learning across the curriculum.

The safeguarding product and service will be used to monitor and alert on the activity, interaction and behaviour of users within this environment.

The Glow environment’s core components are Office 365, G Suite and WordPress. The Glow environment is accessed via corporate and personal devices, as such the product should have the capability to monitor these environments and not be device specific (not require software to be loaded on the users’ endpoint).

Education Scotland would welcome an initial proposal for the creation and ongoing support of a safeguarding product and service including but not limited to the following capabilities within the Office 365, G Suite and WordPress environment:

— live keyword search,

— image recognition,

— metadata search,

— child safeguarding,

— reporting,

— alerting.
