Coverage: 2 active published awards; 2 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
The University of Cumbria aims to enter into a partnership to develop and establish an Embedded College offering Integrated Courses ECIC, to deliver educational study programmes to international students to equip them with the skills and qualifications required to enrol on an undergraduate or postgraduate course at the University. This presents an opportunity for a suitably experienced supplier to establish and run an ECIC on the University of Cumbria’s Lancaster campus. The University remains open minded on the terms of the partnership, the operating model and the academic provision, and welcomes proposals from all interested parties.
