## Summary

Sheffield Hallam University is inviting tenders for accommodation services as part of the Cultural and Language Immersion Scheme (CALIS) for 2019. This tender includes securing and managing homestay accommodations for approximately 40 students from City University of Hong Kong during the summer school programme held at SHU in June-July. The tender period concludes on 5th July 2018, with an expected contract start date of 12th February 2019, lasting until 12th September 2019. The total budget for this project is £25,000 and the procurement method is a Request For Quote.

This opportunity is particularly suitable for local providers of homestay accommodations, including families or businesses with the capacity to offer such services in Yorkshire and the Humber region. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their offerings in the education sector might find this tender beneficial for business growth and development, given the intimate nature of the service required and the emphasis on British cultural immersion for international students.

## Notice

City University of Hong Kong (CityU), and Sheffield Hallam University (SHU) run the Cultural and Language Immersion Scheme (CALIS) Summer School, which takes place in Sheffield Hallam University in June-July every year. It is a condition of this funding that during the summer school CityU students live in homestay accommodation - with a local family near SHU. The purpose of this is to help improve students' English communication skills and deepen their knowledge of British culture through immersion in local family life. The homestay is the principal residence for the students during the summer school programme. The anticipated number of students requiring accommodation for 2019 is 40. We are seeking a supplier to identify, secure, assess suitability and manage the homestay families' and accommodation of the CityU students.
