Notice Title

1998 In-country representative (Admissions Support Officer) services for International Student Recruitment India & Sri Lanka

Notice Description

De Montfort University ("the University") invites bids from suitably qualified consultants with experience in providing in-country representative services for UK Higher Education institutions, for the purpose of admissions & student recruitment across India and Sri Lanka. The University anticipates engaging a single supplier* for these services, and one contract* will be awarded. (*This Invitation to Tender follows previous ITT ref. 1957 for these services; the University had sought two suppliers however only one contract was awarded under ref.1957, and so this is a re-issue of the requirement in order to engage a second supplier.) It is expected that the initial contract duration will be 21 months, with the University holding the option to extend for a further three periods of up to 12 months each, for a potential total contract duration of 57 months (four years, 9 months). Any extension will be dependent on satisfactory supplier performance, continued business need and availability of funding, and will be at the sole discretion of the University. All other information relating to Award Criteria, evaluation and the full specification etc. can be found within our tender pack for this procurement loaded on the In-Tend e tendering portal https://in-tendhost.co.uk/demontfort/aspx/Home Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
