Summary of the contracting process

The UK Shared Business Services Limited has conducted the procurement for the "UK SBS PS16159-HEFCE Costing Study", focusing on research consultancy services within the education and healthcare sectors. This procurement is currently in the award stage, having been completed with KPMG LLP as the successful supplier. The contract covers the period from 30th August 2016 to 15th January 2017, following a tender period that ended on 12th August 2016. The study aims to assess the costs associated with delivering pre-registration courses and will inform future funding decisions by HEFCE.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for firms specialising in research consultancy and financial analysis, particularly those with expertise in educational and healthcare sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) should consider competing for similar future tenders, as the focus on detailed cost assessment and funding allocation indicates a need for in-depth analytical services. Competitors should be adept at providing comprehensive data analysis and have a strong understanding of the higher education funding landscape to be well-suited for such opportunities.

Notice Information

Notice Title

UK SBS PS16159-HEFCE Costing Study

Notice Description

From 2017-18 onwards, HEFCE will be responsible for distributing teaching funding for pre-registration NMAH courses. In order to discharge its new responsibility in a fair and transparent way, HEFCE wishes to commission a study to identify: * the costs to providers of delivering the different types of pre-registration NMAH courses * how those costs arise * how they compare with the costs of activity that HEFCE already funds. The outcome of the study will be used to inform decisions on the extent to which these courses should attract funding under the formula allocation method for high-cost subjects and whether any further (exceptional) support might be required for them. The objectives of this study are : * To determine the average annual full economic costs for institutions per full-time equivalent student of each type of pre-registration NMAH course listed under 'Scope' and how these costs compare with courses in these and similar subjects that HEFCE already funds * To provide analysis of drivers for (teaching and non-teaching) costs in each NMAH profession, and cost variations within each of the professions * To provide a critical analysis of the strength of the evidence base for the costing analysis and any caveats that HEFCE might need to bear in mind in using the costing data to inform its funding decisions.
