Description

The purpose of this Early Engagement Notice is to seek insight from the market regarding a potential requirement relating to the verification of the authenticity and accuracy of higher education qualifications from outside the UK together with the ability to evaluate overseas qualifications to establish the level of comparability to the UK qualifications and framework levels.

The Department would require a provider who has an established track record of working directly with global higher education institutions to verify non-UK academic qualifications and make accurate comparisons with the UK qualifications and framework levels. The provider would also need to be fully compliant with data protection regulations. The supplier will be in position to provide fast access to

secure and accurate verification and comparability results.

This requirement is demand-led however we would expect to receive between 1000-2000 verification checks per year, and any potential provider would need to meet such demand.

We are seeking feedback from the market in relation to several areas, which will help inform our requirement and procurement strategy. If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact us via Phil Gallagher on [email protected] by 4pm on 11th July 2022.
