Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Higher Education Institutions Dual Support System" is managed by UK Shared Business Services Limited, based in Swindon, England. This project aims to analyse how formula-based funding interacts with Research Council funding in higher education institutions, supporting a balanced funding approach for the upcoming Comprehensive Spending Review expected in 2019. The contract is classified under research and development consultancy services and has a total value of £47,990. The procurement method employed is selective, conducted through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period runs from 11 October 2018 to 31 December 2018, with the tender period concluding on 18 September 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the research consultancy and economic analysis sectors, particularly those with expertise in funding mechanisms and institutional assessments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in market research and statistical analysis would be well-positioned to compete for future tenders of this nature, as the overarching demand for effective guidance in funding strategies aligns with their skill sets. Companies that can demonstrate innovation in research methodologies or who have direct experience working with higher education institutions may find themselves at a distinct advantage in upcoming procurement opportunities.

Notice Title

Higher Education Institutions Dual Support System

Notice Description

The aim of this work is to develop a clear picture of how formula-based funding is used and tensioned against Research Council funding within different types of institutions and across the sector as a whole. This evidence will be used to consider sustainability at the HEI level as well as within and between disciplines and spending areas (such as research, teaching, etc.). The data collected and analysed through this work will reinforce the business case for balance between the dual support system for the next Comprehensive Spending Review, expected to take place in 2019.
