This open tender, classified under travel services, is currently active and will close on 14 December 2018, with the contract period commencing on 22 January 2019 and concluding on 21 January 2020. Interested organisations should be prepared to supply volunteering opportunities related to various academic fields, including science, humanities, health, and business management, with an estimated budget of £30,000. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in volunteering services, particularly those offering diverse, culturally enriching experiences, to engage with students eager for global exposure. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, as the project aims to connect students with suitable providers without direct contractual obligations between the University and the providers, fostering educational partnerships and enhancing employability skills for participating students. ## Notice In 2017 Sheffield Hallam University launched its Transforming Lives Strategy which affirms the university's ambition to be the world's leading applied university, extending and deepening its global engagement. Providing a global experience to all students, on campus or abroad, is a strategic goal of the University. We are therefore looking for ways to increase the safe and cost-efficient opportunities for students to volunteer abroad as part of our extra curricular offer. We are interested in volunteering providers which can supply short (1-4 weeks) and longer term (1 - 3 months) options across the following subject areas: Faculty of Science, Technology and the Arts (STA) Art and Design Media Arts and Communications Faculty of Social Science and Humanities (SSH) Education, Childhood and Inclusion Humanities Law and Criminology Natural and Built Environment Psychology, Sociology and Politics Faculty of Health and Wellbeing (HWB) Biosciences and Chemistry Sport and Physical Science Nursing and Physiotherapy Sheffield Business School (SBS) Finance, Accounting and Business Management By providing volunteering opportunities linked to these subject areas, and encouraging students to take part, we aim to develop their global awareness and employability skills - the ability to work across cultures, intercultural competence, time and project management skills, team work, communication and presentation skills in an international setting . The aim of the project is to signpost one or more providers who can offer a range of safe, cost effective volunteering opportunities, in the subject areas detailed above. Up to one hundred students annually may be involved in the project. Providers of volunteering opportunities that meet the University's requirements will be signposted to students. Please note that there will be no contract between the University and provider, any contract will be between the student and provider. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2d3f313a-6c5d-4403-962b-6fa22a78c42f | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Nov 2018 | | Submission deadline | 14 Dec 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 22 Jan 2019 - 21 Jan 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £30,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SHEFFIELD HALLAM UNIVERSITY | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 1WB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 63 - Supporting and auxiliary transport services; travel agencies services ### Codes - 63515000 - Travel services ## Release History - 22 Nov 2018 at 14:02 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2d3f313a-6c5d-4403-962b-6fa22a78c42f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2d3f313a-6c5d-4403-962b-6fa22a78c42f 22nd November 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/sheffieldhallamuniversity/aspx/home Sheffield Hallam University In-Tend Site ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
