Published requirement description

The Global Student Recruitment Team at Queen's has overarching responsibility for delivering the University's international student recruitment targets, in conjunction with Faculty Student Recruitment Hubs. Over the past 5-year period, Queen's Global Student Recruitment Team presence has expanded and currently there is representation across a number of key regions. The University is keen to further expand its in-market network by embedding staff in the United States of America.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 55 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5.5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
