Advertisement of any Contracts Finder is at the sole discretion of the University and is undertaken on a voluntary basis with no implied obligation to comply with the procurement legislation. Lot 1: Durham University seeks to expand its offering of high-quality online master's programmes, beyond the provision already supported in Durham University Business School (DUBS) and Arts and Humanities. In addition, Durham University has identified a desire to develop online CPD, executive education, and outreach courses that showcase Durham's strengths and contribute to local, national, and global knowledge and skills development. These initiatives have the potential to provide the University with additional income streams and raise the profile of Durham University both locally and globally in addition to other strategic benefits. The tender specification outline is focused on supporting the development of fully online postgraduate programmes. Durham University seeks a framework agreement which positions the chosen supplier as the preferred supplier for the development of 5-10 large scale postgraduate programmes over the next 5 years. It is envisioned that a framework agreement would be required, with the option to undertake variable approaches to course development from full service to single services depending upon the needs of each individual programme and our resource needs. As such, each programme would be considered an addendum to a master services agreement, and subject to negotiated terms of development and delivery. The chosen partner will work closely with colleagues in the Durham Centre for Academic Development (DCAD).
