## Summary

Oxford Brookes University is inviting tenders for a consultancy project titled "Consultancy for research into higher education outreach needs and gaps in outreach provision," aimed at assessing the availability of information and support for learners in the South East of England as they consider progression to higher education. This open tender was published on 15th March 2022 and will close on 7th April 2022. The contract is expected to commence on 8th April 2022 and run until 9th April 2022. The procurement falls under the category of research consultancy services, as well as business and management consultancy, and related services.

This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in research consultancy, particularly those focusing on higher education services or equal opportunities consultancy. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as their insights into the educational landscape could be crucial for identifying gaps in outreach provision and supporting underrepresented learner groups. Businesses with expertise in demographic analysis and educational consultancy will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice

This piece of research will aim to identify gaps in the availability of information and support for learners across the region when considering progressing to higher education. This should be achieved by using regional data to understand the demographics of the Study Higher area and identify any gaps in progression to higher education, particularly for priority groups and to identify what information, advice and guidance (IAG) is already available for particular learner groups in supporting their progression to higher education.
