## Summary

The University of Northumbria at Newcastle is planning a procurement process for "T24/0049 - SQE exam services for SLO" under the services category of the training industry (CPV code 80500000). This procurement process is in the planning stage as of 20th December 2024. The supplier will be required to support the delivery of the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) services from the academic year 2025/26. The services are intended for various programmes including the final year of the undergraduate MLAW, the postgraduate LL.M. Professional Legal Practice, and the Solicitor Higher Apprentice Programme. The contract is valued at £250,000 and will be executed in the North East of England.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in training services, particularly those with expertise in legal education and examination preparation. Firms with a strong track record in delivering structured training programmes and supporting high-stakes examination processes would be well-suited to compete for this contract. This procurement can foster business growth by establishing a long-term partnership with a prestigious academic institution and facilitating considerable engagement within the legal training sector.

## Notice

The Legal Practice Course (LPC) route to qualification as a solicitor is being phased out and a new, centrally set and assessed, examination called the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) has been introduced. From academic year 2025/26, Northumbria University will be delivering SQE1 training to students on three programmes; the final year of the undergraduate MLAW, the new postgraduate LL.M. Professional Legal Practice and on the Solicitor Higher Apprentice Programme. While students must sit the SQE assessments externally, our programmes are designed to prepare them for those assessments as well as giving them separate qualifications. We are looking for a supplier to work with us to provide these services.
