This shall include as a minimum interpretation of lectures, seminars, workshops and tutorials. Activities outside of direct teaching activities do not form part of this contract. Due to the ever-changing nature of the work environment and external driving factors, the University needs to increase access to this service provision and enhance online provision to support management of increased support requests. Post Covid-19 restrictions, the successful Supplier should still be in a position to offer some off-campus support as part of a blended learning approach. Currently provision is largely provided Monday-Friday during term time with some ad hoc assignments in the evenings and/or at weekends. Some out of term support may be required where students are repeating assessments or to facilitate meetings with prospective students during the summer months. Within the previous year, the average number of hours required under this contract can vary depending on the number students and the type of course, and thus the level of support the Service User requires. We anticipate based on previous years information, around 1,500 to 2000 hours per year. The University provides no assurances or guarantees in regard to the level of future business awarded against this Contract. Deadline for Expression of Interest: 24th May 2021 12:00 noon. Tender Deadline: 27th May 2021 12:00 noon.
