One of the key aims for the new MSc course is to reduce the travel time to and from University by Government staff.

It has been agreed to adopt a new approach to the procurement process for this Masters programme. Universities will be invited by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to become a 'preferred supplier' of the Masters programme Framework, that contains the list of preferred suppliers. The study length is to be flexible, allowing Government staff to vary their study commitments between full-time , part-time, 1 to 5 years, with an option to suspend studies for up to 1 year. Tender documents will not be published until the OJEU notice has been published and verified by the OJEU publication team which is likely to be W/C 1st December. This project has been set up prior to issuing tender documentation to allow suppliers to express an interest in this opportunity. Suppliers that have expressed an interest in this project will receive automatic notification when tender documents become available. The tendering process will be completed through the e-sourcing portal, In-tend. Please use the link supplied in additional information.
