When this comes round again

UNIVERSITY OF SUSSEX(THE) publishes Education & Training work continuously — 11 notices, roughly one every 64 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

38% of UNIVERSITY OF SUSSEX(THE)’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

The university currently hosts an on-campus "International Study Centre" which delivers routes to degree courses for international students.

The partner provider recruits students and provides options for entry that are taught by the provider and certified by Sussex.

At the successful completion of the course students are invited to join their selected course and enrol as Sussex students. https://isc.sussex.ac.uk/programmes This provision is due to expire at the end of academic year 2029/30 (31 July 2030).

The university is therefore engaging the market to assist in the formation of our plans for this key student recruitment route.

We see this as an opportunity to challenge our assumptions across the board about how we can support potential students and encourage them to enrol at Sussex.

To this end while the international student pathway is forming the core of our investigation in this project, we see this as an opportunity to reevaluate pathways across all student cohorts, locations, models and formats.

We have recently conducted premarket engagement in our Online Distance Learning space (with a tender proposed for 2026) and across the University we are seeking ways to respond to the increasingly dynamic student market.

As such rather than framing specific requirements we have provided objectives and needs to meet.

Our hope is that by engaging with suppliers we can be innovative in our response to student demand in collaboration with the market to meet student needs while providing sustainable income and value for money for all involved.
