Lot Information

Lot 1

Recruitment and selection is a devolved activity at the University of Edinburgh. The responsibility of Recruitment and Selection sits in the Colleges, Schools and Professional Service Group Departments within the University. Relocation Support is currently delivered by the Resourcing Team and an existing procured supplier. It is the intention that purchasing of relocation services will be initiated by the recruiting area and the relocation services delivered by the procured supplier. It is our vision that the University of Edinburgh can continue to welcome and bring together people from a wide range of backgrounds and experience, both close to home and across the globe by being both financially and practically supportive to the individual and their families when relocating, and to enable them to experience a smooth and easy transition to working and living in Edinburgh. This vision is achieved by offering a dedicated relocation support service, which will offer both pre and post arrival support to relocating staff including expenses management support. Given the scale of our recruitment, within the UK, in Europe and Worldwide, there is a requirement for global presence.
