Notice Title

2022_Insights - Transnational Education in Egypt: Analysis of the operating environment, delivery models, and partnership opportunities for UK providers

Notice Description

We invite bidders to propose a detailed and effective methodology that best meets our research objectives within the outlined timelines and budget. The overall aim of the research is to understand the operating environment for transnational education (TNE) at the higher education level in Egypt. The British Council is interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the TNE operating environment in Egypt at the higher education level, including relevant policies, student demand, current and potential scale, financial feasibility, competition, and likely future developments in this area. The outputs of this research will be used to provide reliable and up-to-date information to the UK education sector as well as helping the British Council to better design policies to support UK universities' activities in this area. The research will also assist policy makers in Egypt to assess the impact of the TNE regulations introduced in 2018, whether they are achieving the intended outcomes and whether additional changes are needed to maximise partnership opportunities between the UK and Egypt. We anticipate this research will include both desk research (including reviewing government policies, universities' descriptions of their existing programmes and relevant third-party research) and primary research with government officials, education providers, business partners and other relevant stakeholders. It is possible that some relevant information will only be available in Arabic. Additional information: Bidders should register on the British Council's e-Tendering portal In-Tend https://in-tendhost.co.uk/britishcouncil/aspx/Home in order to take part in the tender process. Once registered, bidders must log-in to the website where they can view the project and access the bidders pack and submit their return. Bidders will also be required to demonstrate their capability and 'means of proof' will be required. These conditions are outlined in the RFP.
