The University of Salford wants to buy specialist support that helps deaf and hard-of-hearing students take part in their studies, both in class and outside it. The support may include specialist notetaking, British Sign Language (BSL) interpreting and other communication support professionals. The estimated value is £386,658.

• Provide in-class and out-of-class specialist support for d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing students • Provide specialist notetaking and British Sign Language (BSL) interpretation • Provide other specialist support professionals to help communication • Full requirements are in the tender documents on the university's tender portal

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice does not state any specific qualifications, experience, insurance or other conditions, so the full tender documents on the portal will need checking, but the need for specialist BSL interpreters and notetakers means a small business would need to show access to suitably qualified staff.

Always check the tender documents.
