Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh is conducting a procurement process titled "Consultancy Services for Supporting International Higher Education Partnership" focused on enhancing its collaboration with Chinese entities to establish a health research education programme. The procurement stage is currently complete, with the finalised contract valued at £5 million signed on 15th June 2021. This open procurement method follows an open procedure and has covered not only the local Edinburgh area but also occasional travel to China, as required.

This tender presents excellent opportunities for management consultancies, especially those with expertise in international higher education partnerships and a strong background in health-related programmes. Businesses that demonstrate sound economic standing, have relevant experience, and can provide successful case studies from similar projects will be well-suited to compete for this consultancy project. Furthermore, the potential for additional services under the Framework Agreement may attract firms looking to expand their engagement with public sector entities, specifically in collaborative international settings.

Notice Description

The University of Edinburgh requires Consultancy Services for Supporting an International Higher Education Partnership in China

Lot Information

Lot 1

The University of Edinburgh seeks to further mature a partnership with a consortium of high-profile Chinese entities. The partnership intends to develop and deliver a "Health research, innovation and education programme." The university is now tendering to create a Framework Agreement to provide consultancy services from suitably qualified and experienced management consultancies to assist with phase 2 and possibly into phase 3 of the programme, to deliver the following objectives: - Support the management and implementation of the programme. - Monitor the progression of project plans and deliverables across the partnership to ensure achievement of mutually agreed objectives on-time and within budget. - Demonstrate that the partnership delivers value for money. - Advise on the balance of risk in the programme - strategic and delivery

Options: The University would like to have the potential to use this Framework Agreement to purchase additional consultancy services if other projects within the University have projects of comparable scope and require a similar skill set to the current programme. With regard to estimated spend, UoE estimates the maximum spend for phase 2 and 3 of the current programme on this Framework Agreement would be a maximum of GBP 3.6 million. An additional allowance of GBP 1.4 million has been added to allow for potential spend on other similar or associated projects and is much more speculative.

Renewal: Up to 4 x 12 months extension periods are allowed. This is to ensure that the Framework Agreement runs for the same potential length of the programme it is being set up to service.
