Tutoring Services for Widening Access Programmes

The University of Sheffield Access Service wishes to invite bids from companies to provide one-to-one virtual tutoring sessions for students that are participating in three of our Widening Access Programmes. The aim of providing the tutoring support is to raise students' attainment, boost their academic confidence and study skills techniques. It is the University's intent to appoint a single supplier for this requirement. Please note that the University is NOT seeking bids from self-employed tutors or any other non-corporate organisations and any bids from such entities will be disregarded and not evaluated. The full technical specification can be found in the ITT documentation which will be available after you have expressed your interest on In-Tend.
