The University also recognises the potential risk to its reputation and considers that, in order to improve the management of this risk and thereby protect the Queen's brand and also being mindful of the University's core values, it would be desirable to engage the services of a firm of investigators to conduct complex or high-risk investigations. Therefore, the University is seeking to engage a Supplier to undertake investigations into complaints and allegations of misconduct brought by/against students and by/against members of staff. Such complaints or allegations may be complex, sensitive or pose a high risk to the University and may include allegations of sexual misconduct or inappropriate behaviour; allegations of racism, sexism, homophobia; allegations of bullying, harassment, discrimination ## CPV classification Investigation services Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-05e9b0-2026-03-04T13:37:37Z [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-05e9b0-2026-03-04T13:37:37Z) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
