The collaboration aims to equip students with the skills/qualifications needed for undergraduate or postgraduate courses at Manchester Met. The procurement, classified under higher education services, involves a value of £150,000,000 and follows a selective procurement method with a tender period ending on 20th March 2023. The contract period spans from 24th November 2023 to 23rd November 2053, with the location being in Manchester with the postal code M15 6BH. The EISC initiative by Manchester Metropolitan University presents an exciting opportunity for a partner to enter a joint venture for the operational management of the study centre. The university aims to significantly increase its international student enrollment by setting up the EISC with a third-party provider. Businesses well-suited to compete in this process are those experienced and innovative in education services, training, and operation of educational centres at university level. The University's vision includes physical embedding of the EISC on campus and providing students access to its facilities. Procurement activities for this opportunity are currently in the planning stage, with engagement milestones and market consultation exercises ongoing before the formal tender process launch expected in Autumn 2022. ## Notice Manchester Metropolitan University wishes to enter into a collaboration to establish an Embedded International Study Centre ("EISC") on campus to deliver educational study programmes to international students to equip them with the skills/qualifications required to enrol on an undergraduate or postgraduate course at Manchester Met. This presents an exciting opportunity for a suitably experienced and innovative partner to enter into a joint venture ("JV") with Manchester Met to realise its ambitions for the EISC. At this point in the process, Manchester Met wishes to remain agnostic in respect of the form which the JV will take (e.g. contractual/incorporated), and is therefore interested to hear bidders' proposals on this aspect later in the process. The JV Partner will be responsible for the operational running of the EISC, delivering programmes, promoting the EISC, recruitment of international students, administration of admissions and provide teaching services within the EISC.
