Description
Pre-Market Engagement Phase: This is an exercise to research and analyse the Online Programme Management (OPM) market and specialist providers. We are seeking to learn how suppliers manage their partnerships successfully, how they excel in OPM execution and seek any lessons learnt from previous engagements which drive improvements. In addition the key objectives of this Engagement are to: Validate: Test the feasibility and deliverability of OBU online provision. Inform: Gain insights into current market capacity, capabilities, and innovative solutions. Refine: Use market feedback to shape the final procurement strategy, scope, and technical specification. Promote: Raise market awareness and stimulate competition. As we go to market, we are delighted to invite suppliers to record a video Presentation (a maximum duration of 20 minutes) to demonstrate their relevant capability, experience, approach, innovation and lessons learned in delivering OPM services. As a separate exercise, a Supplier Questionnaire will also need to be completed. If you are supplier interested in participating in our invaluable market research, please email procurement@brookes.ac.uk and we will provide you with the preliminary market engagement pack (which includes the Supplier Questionnaire). Please note the deadline for submitting your video Presentation and Supplier Questionnaire is Wednesday 28th October 17:00 GMT which should be emailed to procurement@brookes.ac.uk. This stage does not formally commence a procurement process. Participation in this Pre-Market Engagement is voluntary and will not provide any advantage or disadvantage in any subsequent tender process. We are excited to hear from you!
