The work is intended to support the colleges’ business and technical requirements; the proposed scope is still being explained to providers through early market engagement. The classification points to general management consultancy, but the procurement is for specialist data protection and information governance support. Delivery is associated with Uxbridge, with the stated delivery locations also extending across the United Kingdom and beyond. This is at the planning stage: the colleges have stated an intention to procure, but this process is not an invitation to tender or a request for formal expressions of interest. The buyer is seeking market input on the expected scope and requirements. The planned market-engagement period is expected to end on 29 December 2026. No procurement procedure, contract value, contract duration, lot structure, eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria are set out at this stage. Suppliers should treat the engagement date as the buyer’s timetable for this preliminary exercise, not as a tender submission deadline. The procurement is likely to suit specialist consultancies and service providers able to deliver outsourced data protection and information governance support for further-education colleges. Relevant preparation should focus on demonstrating that the business can address both the operational requirements and the technical needs of Harrow, Richmond and Uxbridge Colleges. Providers with experience serving organisations with comparable governance and compliance needs may be well placed to contribute to the planned market engagement and help shape the expected scope. The buyer has not yet stated specific accreditations, staffing levels, capacity thresholds or minimum experience requirements, so suppliers should base any assessment on their ability to explain relevant services and capabilities rather than assume formal qualification rules. ## Notice The purpose of this exercise is to briefly explain to providers the business and technical requirements (and the expected scope) of a proposed procurement of Outsourced Data Protection & Information Governance Services for Harrow Richmond & Uxbridge Colleges. Please note: this premarket engagement exercise is not an invitation to tender or a request for formal expressions of interest. This document does not form any part of an invitation to tender.
