This is to support our delivery of institutional student population strategic objectives, and to ensure our future student experience is in line with our world class standing. The University is looking to work with a commercial partner to support admissions decision-making, with scope to consider verification and conversion support. This work would cover the next three admissions cycles, with the first intake being September 2025. The third-party admissions service should support to admissions teams at the University of Edinburgh, to provide more concentrated and flexible support in peak periods, and allow for University of Edinburgh Admissions staff to focus on specialist, value-added activity. This should also enable offer making to be delivered in a timely manner. This would likely include: - Identification and completion of missing data; - Identification of ineligible applicants; - Identification of applicants who are highly competitive and should be considered further by admissions teams; and - Requesting documentation post-offer, to confirm whether the applicant has met their conditions of offer. This would primarily be undertaken by staff from the supplier, who are trained by the University of Edinburgh. These staff will be granted access the University's systems to support this activity. This will include the use of the University's student records system, EUCLID (SITS). Access is cloud based through multi factor authentication and a VPN should be utilised for any work undertaken off campus. Information will be shared through Microsoft 365 products and supplier staff will be invited to relevant admissions team meetings to ensure accurate and successful completion of work to SLAs. Data protection standards must be met to ensure safety and security of applicant data.
Options: One 12-month extension option available to the University.
