Notice Title

21-13 Student Support Services

Notice Description

University is looking to establish agreements with suitable Contractor(s) who can provide Student Support Services to our students eligible for support via Disabled Students Allowance, ESFA funding, other funding bodies, or for support funded by the University of Wolverhampton. Students awarded DSA will possess a needs assessment that details what support, adjustments and equipment a student requires based on the assessor's determination of how their disability affects their individual ability to study and could place them at a disadvantage. Similarly the University may undertake an assessment of the support needs of a student not eligible for DSA and provide support funded by the University or other funding bodies the University is eligible to claim for. This is a Managed Service for use when the University does not have capacity within its Non-Medical Helper (NMH) team.
