UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London and South East University Group is procuring student recruitment services, including commission payments and any marketing and promotional costs under its arrangement with Achieve International Education Group. The service concerns recruitment between China and the UK, reflecting the provider’s transnational education and consultancy work. The awarded service is classified as recruitment services, and delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buyer is a public university group based in Greenwich. The requirement is a single service package rather than separately described workstreams, with commission and promotional activity forming part of the same arrangement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly to Achieve International Education Group Ltd. The stated reason for a direct award was that it specialises in student recruitment between China and the UK, had supported more than 18,000 students over the previous decade, and the buyer considered that no other provider could offer comparable services at this scale. The gross awarded value is £240,000. The contract period runs from 25 October 2026 to 1 March 2028. The award is recorded as pending. This was a single-lot process; the supplied details do not set out separate evaluation criteria beyond the stated justification for selecting this provider.

For suppliers tracking this buyer’s recurring recruitment requirements, the award indicates demand for international student recruitment focused on China-to-UK activity, with commission and associated marketing or promotional costs included in the service. A credible competitor would need evidence of established transnational education recruitment and consultancy capability, strong China–UK recruitment delivery, and the capacity to support substantial student volumes over time. The buyer’s stated justification places particular weight on an extensive track record and an ability to operate at scale, so a supplier would need to demonstrate comparable outcomes and reach to be well placed when a similar requirement next comes to market. Marketing support is relevant insofar as it forms part of the recruitment arrangement.
