## Summary

The procurement process involves Newcastle University seeking support services titled "NU/1586 The Provision of Non-Medical Help Support to Students" within the recruitment services industry. The contract, valued at £600,000, is intended to facilitate non-medical assistance for students with disabilities, primarily on the university's Newcastle campus. The tendering stage has concluded, with the award date being 21 August 2020, and the contract is due to run from 2 September 2020 to 1 September 2022. This opportunity is part of an open procurement method, having a tender period that closed on 7 July 2020.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in providing support services, particularly those experienced in educational environments and disability support. Companies capable of delivering services both in-person on campuses and through online platforms will find this an ideal match.

However, some off-campus support for field-trips (day and short residential) and examination support at bespoke locations may occasionally be required.
