    Brief

    The University seeks a Nomination Agreement with a private purpose-built student accommodation provider to secure additional rooms following the sale of University Hall. This opportunity supports the University's accommodation guarantee commitments to prospective students and meets forecasted demand based on student recruitment intake, historic take-up rates, and future accommodation modelling. Key Details: - The accommodation will be integrated into the University's accommodation portfolio and allocated through existing allocation procedures - Student details and room allocations will be provided to the provider for issuing accommodation contracts directly to students - The contractual relationship between provider and student becomes independent once the student accepts their contract - Early procurement is essential to incorporate rooms into allocation systems, marketing materials, and the accommodation application process opening in February 2027 for the 2027/28 academic year - Delays in securing accommodation risk reducing the completeness of the accommodation offering to prospective students and may negatively impact occupancy outcomes This is a strategic procurement to ensure the University can present a comprehensive accommodation portfolio during the student recruitment cycle.
