The University of Worcester is seeking an online solution to support and enhance the application process of international applicants. The solution should be an off-the-shelf solution and already fully developed. Suppliers should provide a solution, such as an online portal, that all stakeholders (applicants, agents and University staff) can access in order to monitor and progress an international applicant from the point of a conditional offer being made, through to the student arriving in the UK. Applicants should be able to upload documents to meet entry criteria as well as input data to complete their application. Applicants should be able to use the solution to communicate with University staff and see the progress of their application and respond to requests for additional information. Staff should be able to review information submitted by applicants with the option to reject or ask for further information if required. Staff should be able to request additional documents if required. Agents should be able to monitor their applicant’s progress and communicate with University staff if necessary. University staff should clearly see applicant progress and be able to communicate with applicants if necessary. The system should facilitate use by multiple teams across the University to be able to review applicant information to help judge when to issue a CAS, and flag areas of risk. The solution should integrate with the existing student records system (SITS) to avoid duplication of data entry.

This includes supporting the assessment of English language, assessing student authenticity, the ability to pay fees, and understand if an applicant is bringing dependants. The solution should allow additional documents to be uploaded for the purposes of compliance checks, this could include financial documents, evidence of employment, income, payslips and CV’s. The supplier's solution should have the capability to automate parts of credibility interviews. This might involve using AI for identity verification and detecting deepfakes. Staff would then be responsible for evaluating answers, assessing English proficiency, and identifying any attempts at cheating, such as reading responses. The supplier’s solution should integrate these compliance checks as part of the normal progress of the application and should be easy to use for both staff and applicants. The system should provide an easy-to-use solution to assist with the scheduling and booking of assessments and ideally offer time saving solutions to reduce staff hours. The system should provide a database of compliance doc... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/uow957pme-international-applicant-management-system-ocds-h6vhtk-04fdab) ## Lots (1) ### Lot LOT-0001: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `LOT-0001` - **Status:** planning - **CPV codes:** 48100000 - **Delivery regions:** UKG - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Contract Period:** 01/03/2026 to 28/02/2031 - **Renewal published:** yes ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F013230-2025) - **Last Source Update:** 2025-04-04T16:04:14.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-28T22:23:22.894Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-04fdab
