## Description
The University seeks proposals from suitably experienced and qualified suppliers for the provision of Due Diligence Services; primarily to be utilised when engaging new partners overseas. The University proposes to enter into contract with a single supplier for a maximum period of four years in total. The Contract will have an initial period of two years, with a potential extension period of a further two years based on continued satisfactory supplier performance, availability of funding and business need. The anticipated arrangement will involve engaging a supplier on contract, and "calling off" the services as they are required. For avoidance of doubt, there is not a consistent ongoing requirement, nor indeed any guarantee of any business at all under the contract. All other information relating to Award Criteria, evaluation and the full specification etc. can be found within our ITT document for this procurement loaded on the In-Tend e tendering portal https://in-tendhost.co.uk/de
