## Notice

De Montfort University (DMU), and Global Mobility Office are looking for a single supplier who meets the requirements to design & deliver a range of bespoke overseas employability-focused programmes for students that align with University's strategic objectives. Recognising the objectives at De Montfort University to improve graduate outcomes and boost student employability alongside our desire to internationalise the student experience we have a specific requirement for a provider who has expertise in both fields - employability and internationalisation. DMU currently runs a successful mobility programme, DMU Global, however in some regions we lack the knowledge and expertise to deliver programmes, in particular South East Asia and Latin America. Finding a provider that has in-country knowledge in these regions, staff on the ground, and links with business and local organisations to be able to create bespoke, impactful programmes is our main requirement. Full details of the University's requirements can be found in the Specification (Schedule 2). Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
