## Summary

The University of Strathclyde is in the planning stage of a procurement process aimed at engaging a long-term partner to deliver an Investment Banking Training Bootcamp. This initiative, falling under the education industry category, is intended to provide undergraduate and postgraduate students with practical investment banking training to complement their theoretical studies and enhance their employment prospects. Located in Glasgow (UKM82), the University has outlined plans to deliver this training both remotely and on-campus, with an intensive week-long programme during January each academic year. Interested parties must register by 24th March 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in financial education and training services, particularly those with experience in delivering practical, simulation-based finance courses. Companies capable of providing comprehensive pre-boot camp preparation, as well as post-boot camp feedback and pastoral care, would be well-suited to compete. The provision of a recognised qualification, such as a Level 5 Diploma in Trading and Financial Market Analysis, can additionally appeal to academic institutions looking to enhance their students’ CVs and employability, potentially driving long-term business growth for the chosen provider.

## Notice

The University is looking for a long-term partner to provide real live investment banking training to our Undergraduate and Post-Graduate students to complement their academic courses in finance and prepare them for future employment in the industry.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

We are looking for a long-term partner to provide real live investment banking training to our UG and PGT students to complement their academic courses in finance and prepare them for future employment in the industry. The provider needs to be able to deliver a week-long intensive training programme (namely, the "boot-camp") that can be accessed by students remotely and/or via existing on-campus facilities; this would be expected to be delivered during week 0 of semester 2 each year (in January for each academic year). They also need to provide appropriate pre-boot camp information sessions (ideally Oct/Nov in semester 1 of each year) and preparatory materials/asynchronous online sessions. During the boot camp the provider should cover a combination of contemporary theory (e.g. corporate finance, behavioural finance, capital markets) and practical application via trading simulation and offer participants assessment of and feedback on their performance. Topics we envisage being covered include asset management, buy and sell side transactions, IPOs and experience of a live financial trading environment. The boot camp should include careers advice and co-ordinate on this with the university's careers service. We further expect the provider to include post-boot camp feedback to students about their performance as well as pastoral care for participants to allow them to maximise the impact of their experience when seeking employment. The boot camp should be a self-contained activity that will sit alongside a student's finance courses at Strathclyde and be open to both UG and PGT students on a voluntary basis, we expect 200-300 students to take part each year. There should be no charges/fees for participating students other than those ordinarily incurred for attending on campus (e.g. travel) or for remote access (e.g. internet access). We expect the provider to issue students who successfully complete the boot camp with a recognised qualification, e.g. a Level 5 Diploma in Trading and Financial Market Analysis - accredited by the London Institute of Banking and Finance, which will benefit students' CVs and their employability skills.
