Without implementation within this window, the opportunity to influence outcomes for the forthcoming intake would be lost and could not be recovered.\nThe relevant activity must be implemented ahead of the key admissions engagement period in order to secure conversion for the forthcoming intake. Failure to implement within this window would mean Bournemouth University misses the current recruitment cycle, resulting in an irreversible loss of opportunity to affect conversion outcomes.\nCertain detailed elements of the service delivery methodology and strategic approach will be withheld from publication in accordance with section 94 of the Procurement Act 2023, as their disclosure would prejudice commercial interests.",
