## Notice

Sheffield Hallam University has a number of strategic priorities that derive directly from a tailored law portfolio which utilises the HKC brand and the creation of a law school in the new Institute of Law & Justice. Central to this strategy is the creation of a new LLM postgraduate course (Solicitors Qualifying Examination "SQE" part 1 & 2) to provide "a cradle to qualification" for students who want to become solicitors. We require a supplier to provide the SQE preparation training elements which will form part of the LLM Solicitors Qualification Examination. The requirement is for a supplier to provide: * Professional training via an online system which students can access independently * A readily accessible online support service for system issues * Professional support for students for academic issues relating to the training provided * Involvement in a review of the Sheffield Hallam University course design and be involved in the development of the other law modules provided by SHU which form the LLM award.
