Suppliers are invited to tender for: the management and delivery of agreed Aberdeen online postgraduate programmes under the University name and brand that will lead to an award of the University; and the design and delivery of short online courses both credit bearing and non-credit bearing under the University name and brand. The University has successfully delivered online programmes and short courses both on its own primary virtual learning environment and in partnership with other providers. The University has a unique approach in the marketplace of allowing students to commence learning with short courses, building to and paying for an award flexibly and over time. The award of this contract aims to enhance and complement that provision. Partnership provision currently encompasses three 180-credit PGT programmes in the business discipline along with their disaggregated 15-credit courses. Suppliers would be expected to manage and deliver these extant programmes and courses.
