The OfS is seeking to procure capacity to undertake financial risk and transformation planning assessments of HE providers. The objective is to evaluate the financial health and the management and governance capability of HE providers to ensure that the interests of students are safeguarded throughout any financial adjustments or transition, including potential market exits. Suppliers will be expected to deliver high quality evaluations that support the OfS in maintaining a robust and sustainable HE sector. Potential suppliers will be asked to set out an example roadmap and delivery plan for a case study as part of the framework tendering process. The OfS intends to award a framework of suppliers.
