## Description
In preparing for the 2026/27 academic year, the University is undertaking a review of its Academic Regulations. A key component of this work is the review of the institutional award algorithm.
Originally scoped as a sector benchmarking exercise, the project has expanded following the recent OfS publication on inflationary award concerns. 
The review will ensure the University algorithm aligns with regulatory requirements and provides assurance of compliance with  expectations.
To deliver this work, specialist external expertise is required due to the complexity of the regulatory landscape and the need for external independent assurance.
The engagement will involve:
1) Benchmarking against sector practice.
2) Reviewing the current algorithm for compliance with OfS guidance and expectations, including possible calibration activity.
3) Providing recommendations for enhancement and assurance.
The work is anticipated to take 5-7 working days, with recommendations presented to the Academic Quality and Standards and Academic Board in May/June 2026. 
This approach mitigates compliance risks and supports the University's commitment to academic assurance, integrity and regulatory alignment.
If you are interested in supporting the University with this project, please provide evidence of your suitability to the requirement, together with an estimate of your costs.
