UK SBS BLOJEU-CR17110HEFCE - HEFCE Assessment of strategies to tackle violence against women, harassment and hate crime affecting higher education students
Notice Description
The final date and time for the submission of bids is 04/10/2017 at 14:00hrs. **NOTE** Please disregard any content in this notice that requests your organisation "apply directly to the buyer" as this unfortunately is a system generated error, that is outside of the contracting authorities control. DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the CCS eSourcing Portal. In 2015 the Minister of State for Universities, Science, Research and Innovation, Jo Johnson invited Universities UK (UUK) to prepare a report on addressing violence against women, harassment and hate crime affecting students. The Minister also asked UUK to submit a report on the progress made by Higher Education Providers (HEPs) in 2017; as such the DfE remain interested in the progress of the work and the outcomes of this project. UUK established a Taskforce to support universities in addressing all forms of harassment and to examine what further steps the sector can take to ensure an inclusive, safe and tolerant environment for all students. HEFCE has been asked by DfE to support UUK's implementation of the Taskforce's recommendations and we are therefore leading this follow-up work to qualitatively evaluate the sector's progress in meeting the recommendations and safeguarding their students Aims The outcomes we are seeking to achieve are: * An assessment of the sector's progress, or barriers to progress, in implementing the UUK Harassment Task Force's recommendations, to inform the Minister, HEFCE and UUK on what further action/support might be required. * Useful information to enable HEPs to benchmark/self-assess their own progress in meeting the recommendations and to signpost sources of further help/support. Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement. All attachments can be found with the RFx attachments tab within the Emptoris System. This contract will be awarded based on the evaluation criteria set out in the ITQ document.
