What is being bought
Aston University potentially has a requirement for an internship scheme for postgraduate students. The new PG virtual internment scheme will significantly increase the number of virtual internships; the exact number is currently unknown. This engagement exercise seeks to identify potentially suitable partners, capable of managing student virtual internships for Aston's postgraduates. Interested parties are advised to write to Aston and provide a brief company overview. Please note the indicated value is based on a rough annual estimate of circa £410,500 (with a 5-year contract term equating to £2,052,500); actual demand and budget is still to be confirmed.
