When this comes round again

THE UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM's Business Services cycle is past due — it ran about every 13 months across 3 notices, and the door is open now. It may re-tender at any time.

55% of THE UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

The brief

International student recruitment is a strategic priority for the University, and a key channel of recruitment is international pathway programs.

Currently, the University delivers its own international pathway programs at both its main campus in the UK and at its Dubai campus.

Partnership with a 3rd party provides marketing and student recruitment services for the programs against agreed targets.

The contract under which this partnership operates is due to expire in 2028 and the University is keen to consider alternative and innovative approaches and models.

We therefore welcome expressions of interest from third parties that can support the university in growing recruitment through its international pathways programs.

If you are interested in engaging with the University for this project, please register to our E-Tendering Portal (https://in-tendhost.co.uk/universityofbirmingham/aspx/Home) if you are not already, and express interest against the Framework Agreement for the Provision of International Student Recruitment Programs.
