Civica has been awarded top ranked supplier on the APUC Student Management System Framework, (FE Colleges Lot), the national procurement platform which serves all of Scotland's universities and colleges.

Being awarded the top ranked position means that colleges will be able to procure directly from Civica, without having to go through a costly, time-consuming tender process. This offers Scotland's thriving Further Education sector the opportunity to benefit from Civica College Management's (formerly REMS) established ease of use, security and breadth of support for education leaders, managers, teachers and students.

Further Education is a key market for GovTech leader Civica, with the company currently supporting more than 65 colleges across the UK through its cloud-based student information management system, Civica College Management. Scotland’s FE sector, where Civica is ambitious to grow, comprises 26 colleges across 13 regions supporting around 213,135 learners (1).

APUC (Advanced Procurement for Universities and Colleges) is owned jointly by all of Scotland's Universities and Colleges and provides a wide range of procurement related shared services to education institutions across the country.
