What is being bought

Published requirement description

Students will be having the virtual study trips delivered to them. This trip is open to any MSc student at OBBS. All interactions are via Zoom. Leaders and managers from various organisations from around the world are contracted to meet our students and give them an insight into how theory can be implemented into practice. This initiative is in line with our strategy to enhance experiential learning at OBBS. Cost of contract may alter due to number of virtual trips and student numbers over the years. It has been estimated on 2 trips a year of around 100 students based on a 3 year contract.
