## Summary

The University of Bristol is currently seeking to establish an Educational Partnership Agreement in the higher education services sector. This tender is in the planning stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 23rd June 2021. The initiative aims to support the University in accommodating an expanding number of veterinary students by identifying suitable clinical practices for core rotations, primarily located in South West England. The procurement method being employed is a selective competitive procedure with negotiation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for large-scale veterinary providers, particularly those that possess or can develop at least 60 first opinion practices. Companies that can offer both breadth and depth in educational partnerships for clinical training are well-suited to compete. Participation in this tender encourages potential collaborators to engage with a prestigious institution, paving the way for business growth through expanded services in veterinary education and practice.

## Notice

Bristol Vet School is already expanding student numbers and is looking to expand further in the future. In order to do so, and to maintain an excellent student experience for our veterinary students in their final year, we are looking to enter into a long-term educational partnership that will secure our ability to place our students in high-quality, primarily first opinion practices, on clinical rotations. We are seeking to identify an educational partner who would be able to provide both breadth (across species) and depth of intramural rotation provision for up to 300 students within the next 5- to 10-years. A large proportion of clinical rotations would remain at Langford campus but, in line with RCVS future accreditation requirements, we will need additional first opinion practices able to take our students for core rotations.

Bristol Vet School is already expanding student numbers and is looking to expand further in the future. In order to do so, and to maintain an excellent student experience in final year, we are looking to enter into a long-term educational partnership that will secure our ability to place our students in high-quality, primarily first opinion practices, on clinical rotations. We are seeking to identify an educational partner who would be able to provide both breadth (across species) and depth of intramural rotation provision for up to 300 students within the next 5-10 years . A large proportion of clinical rotations would remain at Langford campus but, in line with RCVS future accreditation requirements, we will need additional first opinion practices able to take our students for core rotations. The services will include clinical teaching, placements and provision of clinical caseloads. The University therefore welcomes expressions of interest from large-scale veterinary providers who have at least 60 first opinion practices, or can demonstrate a realistic prospect of developing at least 60 first opinion practices, to be able to meet the University's requirements. Additional information: This procurement is being conducted under the light touch regime for social and other specific services. The University will apply a staged procedure to gradually reduce the number of solutions to be discussed or tenders to be negotiated.
