What is being bought

Published requirement description

Queen’s profile in China continues to grow and the University has developed meaningful engagement with a number of key institutional partners, both at a research and an academic level. The China student population at Queen’s has also experienced significant growth over the past years, with the University first investing in a local presence around 8 years ago to engage with educational agents, high schools and our INTO Joint Venture partner locally and, critically, to support prospective students in their application journey. Queen’s is seeking to appoint an appropriate resourcing solution to maintain current operations in China commencing 1 August 2024 for a period of two years initially.
