## Description

Just under 85% of De Montfort University undergraduates fall within some metric or measure of 'social mobility'\. This equates to approximately 19,500 students who face additional barriers and challenges to entry into graduate level work compared to students from more privileged backgrounds\. In order to enhance the employability of our students we need to provide bespoke and targeted support for specific student cohorts\. To complement the projects currently being undertaken for other 'at risk' student groups we seek to support disadvantaged male students who are shown through statistical data to be the least likely to succeed in accessing and completing a degree and subsequently succeeding in securing a graduate level role\. Following a successful previous programme of delivery to support this aim, we now seek to engage a suitably skilled and experienced supplier to enhance the employability of our disadvantaged students by continuing to provide bespoke and targeted support for specific student cohorts\. The University invites bids from suitably qualified providers in order to deliver this programme\. All other information relating to Award Criteria, evaluation and the full specification etc\. can be found within our tender pack for this procurement loaded on the In-Tend e tendering portal https://in-tendhost\.co\.uk/demontfort/aspx/Home Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
