## Summary

The University of East Anglia has completed a procurement process for the UCAS Capitation fee, requiring the use of the UCAS application system for processing and accepting all undergraduate students in compliance with the Office for Students (OfS) regulations. This procurement, classified under Higher Education Services (CPV: 80300000), was carried out through a single tender action below the threshold, and covers the 2024 entry cycle. The procurement method employed was direct, with the contract period starting on 1 August 2024 and ending on 31 July 2025. The end date for the tender period was 4 July 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in higher education services, particularly those capable of providing specialised application processing systems like UCAS. The procurement process creates a structured revenue stream based on the number of accepted students, which could be beneficial for companies aiming to capitalise on formal educational processes. However, given the nature of this direct procurement, it is particularly advantageous for businesses with pre-established relationships and proven capabilities in managing large-scale educational application systems and compliance with government regulations.

## Notice

As part of the OfS regulations, we are required to use the UCAS application system to process and accept all undergraduate students. This requirement from the government extends to all HEI's in the UK and is the sole central application system available for this purpose. UCAS Capitation fee is a charge for every student that is accepted by the University. This covers our 2024 entry cycle and is calculated on the number of acceptances. There are two instalments, one based on an estimate based from the previous cycle, and the second, adjusting for the actual number. A single action tender has been undertaken.
