Tender description

Growing the size of the international student population, whilst maintaining quality and improving diversity, is a key objective of the University of Bristol’s long-term student recruitment strategy. The university is seeking a strategic partnership with a specialised foundation provider to further support these ambitions. The University of Bristol’s International Foundation Programme (IFP) has recently been reviewed and a broad transformation programme is currently underway, aiming to assure that the programme is fit for purpose, competitive and attractive. As part this review, it was identified that rapid growth in student numbers, especially from outside China, is unlikely to be possible without the support of a 3rd party in the area of recruitment, marketing and admissions. The University invites tenders from organisations with experience in the fields of student recruitment, admissions and delivery of IFPs.
