## Summary

The University of Strathclyde, located in Glasgow, is seeking a long-term partner to provide an Investment Banking Training Bootcamp for their undergraduate and postgraduate students. This tender, identified as UOS-35864-2025, falls under the education industry category and is organised through an open procurement procedure. The submission deadline for electronic bids is 23rd June 2025, with the awarding process commencing on the same day. The University’s procurement aims to enrich finance courses and enhance student employability by covering comprehensive topics like corporate finance and capital markets in a week-long intensive programme offered both remotely and on-campus.

Companies with a robust track record in delivering similar educational programmes and those capable of providing accredited qualifications like the Level 5 Diploma in Trading and Financial Market Analysis are particularly well-suited. The contract is initially for 24 months with potential extensions, allowing for long-term collaboration, thus offering substantial opportunities for future business. A minimum annual turnover of £500,000 over the past two years and substantial insurance coverage are part of the eligibility criteria, ensuring that only financially stable and experienced providers are considered.

### 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.

Renewal: The university has provided the contract for an initial duration of 24 months with option for three extension periods each of up to 12 months each. Extensions taken are at the university's discretion.
