This service aims to support students from Year 9 to Year 13 in their higher education decisions through structured online mentoring programmes. The tender, classified under coaching services, has a total value of £135,000, with a minimum value of £100,000, and is set to be awarded through an open procedure. Responses to the tender must be submitted by 12 noon on Tuesday, 3rd October 2017, with the contract period commencing on 13th November 2017 and concluding on 12th December 2018. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with activities taking place at the All Saints Campus in Greater Manchester. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in online educational support, mentorship programmes, or coaching services. Companies that can demonstrate relevant experience in delivering online services tailored to educational institutions would be particularly well-suited to participate. As the programme seeks to enhance the educational outcomes of students in higher education, organisations capable of offering flexible, innovative mentoring solutions may find this an attractive venture to grow their business and increase their engagement with the education sector. ## Notice The University is looking to appoint a supplier to provide an online mentoring service. As part of our core programme of activities, we plan to deliver the mentoring programme across students in Y9-13. A key part of this programme will be a structured Y12-13 online mentoring programme(s). The programme(s) will support students in making decisions about higher education (such as is HE right for them, what to study and where to study) and in their application to higher education. This will be done by guiding them through a series of activities with the support of a mentor who is a current HE student at one of our partners, or working in an industry relevant to the students' interests. Previous experience has shown us that mentoring is a highly effective intervention and online mentoring gives mentees the flexibility they need to be supported alongside studying.
