The brief

The Office for Students (OfS) is embarking on evaluating our approach to regulating and driving up quality.

As part of a wider programme of evaluation activity, the OfS requires a contract with a single supplier to deliver evaluation services on a call-off basis.

To establish a baseline, an initial piece of work will involve provider case studies and a provider survey.

The case studies will give a deep exploration of providers’ understanding and engagement with the OfS’s current approach to regulating quality.

The survey will expand on the case studies with a broad and representative understanding of the same issues.

To understand the effect of changes to our current approach, we anticipate that there will be future work orders for further rounds of case studies, further repeated rounds of the survey, and other primary data collection may also be required.
