Below is an over-view of the Client’s requirements which are detailed and confirmed in the tender documents.
The Client requires the Catering Services Contract to deliver positive economic and social benefits to Wales and services must be delivered with assured statutory compliance - particularly in respect of Food Safety legislation, Health and Safety Law and all other applicable legislation.
The service must reflect exemplary standards of catering industry best practice and must be operated with a management ethos of continuous improvement throughout the contract term whilst delivering best value for the Client and service users.
The contract must maximise resource efficiency (water; heat; power; waste management etc.) and sustainable practices – including support for locally procured food and local food producers; health and wellbeing and Fairtrade.
There are currently 4 office locations in scope for on-site catering services – Cardiff; Merthyr Tydfil; Aberystwyth and Llandudno Junction. The Client requires a café-style service offering a range of hot and cold ‘grab and go’ food and hot and cold beverages and hospitality catering services. There is also a limited / ad-hoc requirement for events and fine dining services mainly at the Client’s Cardiff location.
Whilst there remains some uncertainty about post-pandemic building occupancy numbers, for illustrative purposes the Client anticipates attendance at the 4 catered offices to be circa 50% of pre-pandemic numbers. On this basis, occupancy would be as follows - Cathays Park (1,640 staff); Merthyr Tydfil (297 staff); Aberystwyth (210 staff); Llandudno Junction (338 staff).
The Client also currently has 9 office locations without on-site catering facilities that will require a limited / ad-hoc hospitality food and beverage service. These offices are located in Caerphilly; Newport; Swansea; Carmarthen; Newtown; Llandrindod Wells; Wrexham; Caernarfon and London.
Services provided through the contract must be fully compliant with the Welsh Government’s Welsh Language Scheme. In particular, the contractor will be required to ensure that in all dealings with the public, Welsh and English languages must be treated on the basis of equality - including ensuring that all menu and promotional material, customer surveys and any other information or hospitality booking system content, whether provided in hard copy or through any electronic medium, are fully bilingual.
Security vetting clearance will be required for all contractor personnel engaged in the delivery of the contracted services.
The contract will also include the provision of maintenance services for Client owned coffee machines (semi-automatic bean to cup and barista machines). Additional information: The estimated contract value of GBP 4,000,000 is for the initial contract term and the optional extension period.

name: Derry City and Strabane District Council

description: The project is for the provision of the DNA Museum, Ebrington Square. The new DNA Museum will deliver a world-class attraction and resource to exhibit, explain and explore the rich, unique and fascinating history of Derry ~ Londonderry. The proposal includes the re-use of two Grade B2 listed buildings, set within the historic ‘star fort’ wall of Ebrington Square, on the east bank of the Foyle River. The site itself is historically significant both to the City and arguably the whole of Northern Ireland, with links to the Siege of Derry. The Museum will exhibit collections on the history of the City and provide dedicated research facilities for the internationally significant archive, which tells the story of how Derry-Londonderry has contributed globally to maritime history and other significant events in the city’s past. The new development will restore and enhance the two existing listed buildings – the (665m2) three storey No.49 a former army hospital, constructed c1841; and the (714m2) two storey Nos.45/46 a former games room, constructedc1881, which face directly onto the recently landscaped, south facing, former parade ground. Modern interventions will link and extend the two historic buildings to create the Museum, that will also be respectful of the overall setting. The project will: • Retain and refurbish the two listed buildings, enhancing their historic fabric and creating new purpose for them and improving the visitor experience. • Restore and refurbish the existing external finishes including windows, rendered façade and roof. • Structural works to ensure continued stability of listed buildings and adaption for new use. • Create new dynamic entrance and contemporary public face for the Museum. • The extension to the rear of building No.49 creates a double height, internal circulation route and feature staircase. • New interior throughout to provide modern facilities appropriate for a museum for the 21st century. • Modern finishes throughout with key historic features retained including structural members, historic finishes and the existing staircase to building Nos. 45-46. • A new modern link building between the two historic buildings establishes the flow between the galleries. • The new development will provide a café, permanent and temporary exhibition gallery space, research facilities and staff accommodation. The Integrated Consultant Team and Interpretative Design Team have worked closely together to deliver an exciting educational and interactive visitor experience. This project brings purpose and life back to these historic structures with a fitting use that responds to both the immediate context and wider city background. Please refer to the CfT documents for further details.

description:
The UK Government has consistently supported the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), which are widely regarded as the authoritative international framework to steer practical action by Governments and businesses worldwide on this important agenda. Implementation of the UNGPs supports access to justice and effective remedies for victims of business-related human rights abuses, wherever these occur, and encourage businesses to voluntarily adopt due diligence approaches to respecting human rights. In response to the UNGPs, the UK was the first State to produce a National Action Plan (NAP) on business and human rights and we continue to develop our approach, including through implementation of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and Procurement Act 2023.
An NBA would have the primary objective of assessing the current level of implementation of the UNGPs and other relevant business and human rights frameworks by the UK Government and UK businesses.  An NBA would cover the three pillars of the UNGPs:
1.	State Duty to Protect
2.	Business Responsibility to Respect
3.	Access to Remedy
An NBA would clearly identify measures taken by the UK Government that support business compliance with international and regional human rights standards and identify possible gaps in current measures. It would also assess to what extent UK businesses have committed to respecting human rights, including by carrying out voluntary HRDD, and participating in remediation processes. An NBA would help build the evidence base for legal, policy, and institutional options on business and human rights, and might identify further research and data collection needs.
An NBA would be informed by both quantitative and qualitive research using desk-based and participatory research methods including engagement with relevant stakeholders, including but not limited to businesses, government officials, civil society organisations, academics, international organisations and people with lived experience of business-related human rights abuses. The methodology for the delivery of the NBA would be developed in line with guidance and tools developed by the UN Office of the High Commissioner, the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights, and the Danish Institute for Human Rights.
This is not a call for competition or tender at this time. At the EME, suppliers will be given the opportunity to comment on a draft Terms of Reference to inform FCDO’s approach to engaging suppliers and test our design assumptions. Additional information: This EME is scheduled to take place virtually on Wednesday 24th July @ 11:00 – 12:30 BST. Please register for attendance for the EME via the guidance below.

title: Unit4 SaaS Contract

description:
The Unit 4 Agresso (Business World Enterprise Resource Planning) application is the system used by the entire council for the management of its finances. The application is essential IT infrastructure as it provides accounting functionality which enables budget allocation and management across the whole council.
This award is lawful pursuant to Regulation 32 (2)(c) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 insofar as is strictly necessary where, for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority, the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation cannot be complied with, and in accordance with Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) because competition is absent for technical reasons.
The following details the justification for this:
Unit 4 timing of announcements regarding product changes, coupled with a 12-month timeframe to switch solutions, creates the urgency of the situation. The system is an essential part of the councils IT infrastructure would have a detrimental effect of the running of the council services. Unit 4 have mandated the switch and withdrawn support of the onpremise solution. It will not be possible for the application and the data to be hosted on premise in the future due to the availability of support for third party hosting. The Council could not have foreseen these events and no other economic provider would be able to provide this service
At the present time it would be impossible for the council to procure and implement an alternative economic operator to provide this service. This is because, the supplier will no longer support the current on premise software beyond December 2024 and council risks a non-supported financial system. Therefore it is key that the council upgrades to the cloud software so stability of provision is ensured over the next few years to allow proper consideration of the above mentioned aspects.

description: Information technology services

rationale: Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The Health Board are anticipating that they will be self sufficient following the end of the 12 months extension. Based on this, re-procurement for the next 12 months would cause substantial cost both in terms of monetary value and staff resource as there would need to be considerable technical resource deployed if another company could indeed provide an immediate comparable platform alternative alongside high training considerations.

description: No changes to the delivery of the service, however, the Health Board require a 12 month extension to the contract.

description:
Lightfoot has become the Health Board’s partner in developing and supporting scaling change through the use of data in a single exclusive platform which provides a unique offering which is detailed as follows;
1. Lightfoot has extensive technical experience in linking together health system datasets from many different sources to provide a timeseries flow view of the patient journey through the whole health system. This automatically refreshes daily for operational use and would take most organisations many months/years to build this facility/capability.
2. Unique Statistical Process Control (SPC) insights from signalsfromnoise (sfn):
a. The SPC visualisation of data is different from traditional reporting tools and is the only operational enterprise-wide platform automatically generating and distributing SPC charts and visualised views of cross system patient journeys.
b. The charts have a unique capability, in that they can provide trended and cyclical views of data which also include predictive analytics.
c. This allows SPC views of patient flow across departments, organisations and multiple organisations, in one single environment, with a live drill down capability to answer any questions across all of the data sets. This is patented in North America and applied for in Europe.
3. Common analytical platform to Canterbury District Health Board: The HB have developed a learning alliance with Canterbury DHB NZ using Lightfoot’s sfn system, enabling comparison analytics between the different systems, departments, patient journeys and clinical cohorts to inform best practice and opportunities for improvement.
4. Live drilldown and clinical challenge: During playback workshops sfn’s instant drilldown capability allows clinicians to ask and answer live “why” questions without the need for further report writing.
5. Live initiative monitoring: The sfn platform is updated with frequent uploads of data allowing it to become the HB’s initiative, monitoring and tracking tool.
6. Outcomes and Quality and Safety Frameworks: The sfn platform provides the option to link to a Canterbury-style outcomes framework in order to connect the HB’s strategic vision to patient outcomes.
The recent delivery workstreams have enabled the HB to test and experience in a live operational application sfn and the implementation methodology, and would now like to take this wider than the initial work. Due to this requirement and the uniqueness of the platform, a three to five year partnership is necessary to give the Health Board the time to continue to develop and embed the approach, grow the capability and capacity, so that we can sustain this in the long term.
In addition, there are a number of implications on the Health Board in regards to time, resource and finances if a contract could not be agreed with Lightfoot, these are;
1. Lightfoot’s system and data is their intellectual property and as such, this would not be transferable.
2. The organisation implication in the reinvestment of HB resources to implement this live system again would be highly significant and detrimental to clinical time and would seriously impact the project progress.
3. Financial investment by the HB has been agreed, however, costs would significantly increase if implementation had to be re-engineered.

description: Contract Monitoring. The successful contractor’s performance on the contract will be regularly monitored in line with the tender documentation. Contractors not delivering on contract requirements is a serious matter. It means the public purse is not getting what it is paying for. If a contractor fails to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance they will be given a specified time to improve. If, after the specified time, they still fail to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance, the matter will be escalated to senior management in CPD for further action. If this occurs and their performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, it may be regarded as an act of grave professional misconduct and they may be issued with a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance and the contract may be terminated. The issue of a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance can result in the Contractor being excluded from all procurement competitions being undertaken by Centres of Procurement Expertise on behalf of bodies covered by the Northern Ireland Procurement Policy for a period of three years from the date of issue.. . .

CONTRACT TERM EXTENSION OPTIONS
The initial contract term will be for 3 years with possibility of extending the term by a further 2 years to a maximum total term of 5 years in increments to be agreed, subject to the agreement and performance of both parties.
MINIMUM GUARANTEE DISCOUNTING OPTIONS
Tenderers have the option of putting forward discounting models that would be applied to their rates based upon a yearly minimum number of connections guarantee from the Port whereby the Port would underwrite against the guarantee to protect the operator from losses in the event that the minimum number of connections is not achieved.
Tenderers may put forward discount %s that would be applied to connection and disconnection rates based upon 100, 250 and 500 minimum per annum connection guarantees.
Although the Port estimates that 650 connections could take place over a year the highest level of minimum guarantee discount that can be proposed by tenderers is capped at 500 connections per year in order to minimise the Port's exposure to underwriting losses.
Tenderers should note that it will be at the sole discretion of the Port on whether it takes up a minimum guarantee discount option at commencement or in the subsequent years of the contract, the level of minimum guarantee that it will commit to and whether to continue with a minimum guarantee model for subsequent years of the contract.

OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS SUMMARY
The Council requires an operator to manage the operations of the shore power connection across the three busiest berths at the port. At present, PIP has several vessels calling daily throughout the year, which is usually between the hours of 05:45-23:59.
The Council's operator requirements are set out below in summary, however tenderers must refer to the detailed information set out within the 'Specification' document included within the tender pack accessible via IN-tend.
In the event of any discrepancies the detailed information set out within the Specification, other technical documents, contractual terms, etc. take precedent over the summarised information included below.
The appointed HV contractor will be required to have availability 365 days of the year, with a possible estimated 650 connections during the year, which may increase or decrease dependent on system take up by cruise and ferry customers. Requirements will be demand led and no guarantees can be provided in respect of minimum or maximum numbers of annual connections.
The successful operator will be, in summary, required to undertake the following services:
•	Early engagement with the Port and ABB to have an overview of the testing and commissioning of the shore power solution
•	Undertake the following under a Control, Operations, Maintenance Agreement ('COMA') agreement, as a minimum.
o	Commissioning of the vessels for the use of the shore power.
o	Set up connections, carry out the connection and disconnection of vessels to the shore power.
o	Management of the COMA agreement for the system.
o	Identification and reporting of system faults.
o	Operational and system audits.
•	Provision of HV awareness training to relevant Port staff
The contractor will need to remain on site at all times whenever vessels are connected to the shore power system.
The Council will require the contractor to be able to attend site on a dynamic basis as berthing programmes can be subject to change at short notice due to weather conditions and other factors.
PARTNERSHIP WORKING
The Council wishes to appoint an operator who can work in partnership during the duration of the contract to review the operations and commercial elements to allow continuous improvement in the service levels to PIP's customers, operational efficiencies, and financial savings.
As set out within the Specification, the operator will be required to work in collaboration with PIP to:
•	Overcome any identified contract challenges and complications to ensure the operations and commercial viability of the contract remains.
•	Ensure the contract remains financially competitive to encourage PIP's customers to use to the shore power system.
•	Development of processes and documentation for the whole shore power process, including the commissioning of vessels, connection and disconnection procedures, and fault logging.
•	Support the fluctuations in demand to ensure customer requirements of shore power are met in a timely manner to customers' expectations.
•	Proactively review and suggest improvements to PIP on the operations of shore power to ensure efficient procedures are undertaken on the connection and disconnection of the system to a vessel.
•	Work with system installer to understand the system in preparation of the shore power system demonstration period go live. Additional information: PORTSMOUTH INTERNATIONAL PORT (PIP)
PIP is a major UK port, responsible for handling millions of customers and vital cargo across the globe. With easy access from the motorway and major shipping lanes, PIP is ideally placed for ferries, cruise, and freight. The Port is wholly owned by the Council and is the UK's largest municipal port.
Further information about the port including an overview of the facilities, current ferry & cruise schedules, cargo & logistics, etc. can be freely accessed on the PIP's website via the weblink below:
https://portsmouth-port.co.uk/
SEA CHANGE PROJECT SUMMARY OVERVIEW
PIP has bold ambitions to reach net zero by 2030 and become zero emission by 2050. This includes building the ground breaking Sea Change shore power project. To support PIP's environmental ambitions, the Council has secured £19.8M of UK government 'Zero Emissions Vessels & Infrastructure' (ZEVI) funding for the delivery of a shoreside electrical power solution. Once installed, the system will service the Port's three busiest berths. Delivery of this ground-breaking decarbonisation project - titled 'Sea Change' - will allow visiting ferries and cruise ships to 'plug in' when berthed at the Port instead of running engines to power on-board systems.
PIP is working in partnership with University of Portsmouth, MSE International, B4T, IOTICS and Swanbarton to deliver the project. It is estimated that the project could potentially reduce annual carbon dioxide emissions from vessels calling at the port by an estimated 20,000 metric tons from 2027. This will significantly improve air quality in the harbour area and contribute significantly towards the Council's wider target of reaching net carbon neutral by 2030.
Brittany Ferries is introducing two new LNG-electric hybrid ferries from 2025, which run on a combination of cleaner liquefied natural gas (LNG) and battery power. With shore power available at PIP, they will be able to charge their batteries and run on battery to power when manoeuvring through Portsmouth harbour, improving air quality, and supporting the industry-wide shift to zero-emission shipping.
In accordance with the funding requirements, the shoreside power system is required to be operational by the end of March 2025 and subsequently remain in operation for a minimum 3-year demonstration period. Further information on the Sea Change project can be found on the Port's website via the weblink below:
https://portsmouth-port.co.uk/about-us/sustainability/sea-change/
SEA CHANGE PROJECT PROGRAMME STATUS
The Council has already entered a contract with ABB Ltd via a Public Contracts Regulations (2015) compliant competitive procurement for the supply, installation, cabling, commission, servicing, and maintenance of the shore power connection solution which comprises of:
• 16-MVA ACS6080 drive with shunt filter
• MV switchgear
• Power-factor compensation
• Transformers
• E-houses
• Cable management systems
• Automation
Whilst ABB have been secured to deliver servicing and maintenance of the shore power solution on a 3-year NEC4 Term Service Contract, this agreement does not cover the delivery of day-to-day operational management requirements at the PIP which is the subject of this procurement process.
The Council has also secured Balfour Beatty via the SCAPE National Civil Engineering Framework to undertake the role of Principal Contractor under CDM regulations to manage and co-ordinate the on site works of ABB and their sub-contractors. Balfour Beatty will also deliver the required civil engineering infrastructure works required to enable the effective installation and operation of the shore power solution at the Port. This package of works includes for:
• Service trenches
• Pit and duct network
• Column and slab foundations
• Installation of bollard, barriers and handrailing
Under the current programme it is envisaged that the shore power solution will be installed by the 1st February to enable testing and commissioning to take place ahead of go live on 1st April 2025.

There is a strong likelihood that the Open Banking (Data, Digital Payments & Confirmation of Payee Services) Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) will be used, however this is subject to change.
More information on the above Framework can be found at the following address: https://www.crowncommercial.gov.uk/agreements/RM6301
Background
The DVLA is an Executive Agency of The Department for Transport (DfT), based in Swansea. The Agency’s primary aims are to facilitate road safety and general law enforcement by maintaining accurate registers of drivers and vehicle keepers and to collect Vehicle Excise Duty (VED).
A DD payment option was introduced from 1st October 2014 which enables End Users to currently pay the full annual VED amount in one annual instalment, pay for a 6-month licensing period in one instalment or opt to spread the costs evenly over the term of a 12-month licensing period.
All options result in an automatic VED renewal, subject to all business requirements being met, unless the End User opts out of the DD scheme.
•	Currently, over 1.4 million mandates are created per month, this is split between circa new (40%) and renewed (60%) mandates.
•	On average, Direct Debit payments total approximately £230m a month.
Market Engagement Event
DVLA are organising an in-person Supplier Day in Swansea Vale on 17th September 2024, to gather market information for the next Direct Debit Contract.
If you would like to register your interest in attending the Supplier Day, could you do so in writing to Vikki John (vikki.john@dvla.gov.uk) by close of play on Wednesday 24th July 2024, including the names and positions of the individuals wishing to attend the event.

Lewisham borough serves a resident population of approximately 303,500 (Lewisham JSNA, ONS 2018) and is expected to grow to 344,500 by 2031. Lewisham has a younger population bias and remains amongst the most deprived local authority areas in England. The borough's growing population means extra demand for services.
Dermatology services at local trusts continue to be under great pressure and it is not uncommon for patients to wait a long time for specialist assessment and treatment for conditions such as acne, psoriasis or eczema which can cause distress and discomfort for patients. Such a position is likely to have been exacerbated by the pandemic, with backlogs continuing to grow, and possible latent demand in the community yet to convert to referrals.
Historically there was no borough-wide community dermatology service in place in Lewisham, with referrals being made directly into secondary care. However, as part of service developments made during Covid, in 2020 North Lewisham PCN established a pilot community dermatology model which attracted widespread support from patients and local clinicians and demonstrated that a community service within Lewisham is both desirable and effective.
Following discussions with a range of stakeholders, including the SE London Planned Care Board, SE London Dermatology Network, GPs, commissioners, GPs with extended roles (GPwER), and consultant dermatologists, in November 2021 it was agreed that this service model should be extended as a pilot across the whole borough. After a successful period it has now been established that a permanent service needs to be procured for Lewisham borough.

title: Community Dermatology Service (Lewisham) - Market Engagement

description: The Community Dermatology Service will play a key role in supporting Lewisham borough in delivering its strategy to optimise the value of referrals and improve patient experience and outcomes. The Service will manage a broad range of dermatological conditions and support the development of sustainable care pathways, which are cost-effective, responsive to local need, clearly articulated between clinical partners and underpinned by a combination of effective referral optimisation and robust educational support. The Community Service will also play a pivotal role in strengthening the dermatology offering across Lewisham, by providing a link between primary and secondary care, building capacity and expertise within the community and diverting less complex activity away from the acute trusts, thereby improving access to secondary care for those patients requiring consultant- led treatment.

description:
The Department of Law & Criminology at Sheffield Hallam University is a large successful department which has diversified over the past 5 years and brings the University additional funding in terms of its research and contract work both nationally and internationally which in turn has improved the REF Unit of Assessment 20 results significantly.  The diversification and subsequent growth is as a direct result of the successful creation of the International Helena Kennedy Centre for International Justice ("HKC").
The University has identified the Law subject area as a pillar subject providing further resources and support in order to significantly increase undergraduate numbers.
Opportunities
We have a number of strategic priorities that derive directly from a tailored law portfolio which utilises the HKC brand and the creation of a law school in the new Institute of Law & Justice.  Central to this strategy is the creation of a new LLM postgraduate course (Solicitors Qualifying Examination "SQE" part 1 & 2) to provide "a cradle to qualification" for students who want to become solicitors.
Our aim is to create a new suite of postgraduate professional qualifications that will enhance the refreshed undergraduate portfolio which has been revalidated and is due to roll out in September 2025.  We want to provide a range of 1 and 2 year pathways as well as an LLM law conversion course with SQE.
We will run the LLM course from our main campus in Sheffield but there is scope to offer this course from September 2026 from our new London campus.  We intend to offer this course to three specific markets of students - law graduates (from SHU or elsewhere), non-law graduates (from SHU or elsewhere) and international students (practising lawyers wanting to practice in the UK).
We require a supplier to provide the SQE preparation training elements which will form part of the LLM Solicitors Qualification Examination.
The requirement is for a supplier to provide:
•	Professional training via an online system which students can access independently
•	A readily accessible online support service for system issues
•	Professional support for students for academic issues relating to the training provided
•	Involvement in a review of the Sheffield Hallam University course design and be involved in the development of the other law modules provided by SHU which form the LLM award.
Requirements
Online system
The University requires an easily accessible, easy to use, reliable, SaaS system via which students can receive training and support. University staff would like to be able to access the system for monitoring purposes but expect the successful supplier to be responsible for all software resources used by the application.
We would expect the successful supplier to be able to offer access to the training via a wide variety of devices (e.g. PC, laptop, IoS and android) and that the system would be updated regularly.
MANDATORY REQUIREMENT - You must meet the requirements of the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 which states you must make your website or mobile app more accessible by making it 'perceivable, operable, understandable and robust'. You need to include and update an accessibility statement on your website.
Curriculum Model
We require delivery of a curriculum which comprehensively covers all the requirements for SQE 1 & 2 and fully prepares students for the relevant examinations.
Experience & Success
We require a provider with the highest level of experience & success within the HE sector.
Staff Expertise
The University requires a provider with staff who have the highest and most relevant skills and expertise to contribute towards the opportunities described above and enhance the reputation of the University.
International Students
The University requires evidence of experience in enrolling and teaching a wide range of international students.
Student support
We require a comprehensive offering of support from qualified & experienced staff in relation to the SQE1 & 2 courses you will be delivering.
Our students will require:
•	Academic support
•	System use / course support (how to get the best out of the system and curriculum model)
•	Pastoral care in relation to struggles or concerns with course content
•	Specialist advice relating to the diverse needs of the student(s)
EEDI (Equity, Equality, Diversity & Inclusion)
Sheffield Hallam University is committed to advancing equality of opportunity, experiences and outcomes; ensuring that students and staff realise their full potential. This is reflected through the University's civic ambitions, with equality, diversity and inclusion acting as a key enablers to the University's strategy, Transforming Lives. The University's Equality Objectives (2021-24) demonstrate our commitment to EEDI.
https://www.shu.ac.uk/about-us/our-values/equality-and-diversity
Standards & Compliance
The University wishes to contract with a provider who complies with all service-related standards and has robust quality assurance policies and procedures in place.
Collaborative Opportunities
We would like to explore opportunities with the selected provider, to collaborate on the provision of additional student courses.
Out of Scope
•	The award of the qualification of LLM SQE.
•	Participation in the delivery of any of the Sheffield Hallam University law modules that form part of the LLM award.
•	The assessment of the Solicitors Qualification Examination Part 1 or Part 2 as this is delivered by the Solicitors Regulation Authority's approved assessor.
•	The process of entering the students into the Solicitors Qualification Examination Part 1 or Part 2 this remains the responsibility of the individual students and they bear the cost of the examination fees.
The University reserves the right to make any award that may result from this Invitation to Tender, on a single supplier award basis, or not at all, at its sole discretion.
