Go Higher West Yorkshire (GHWY) is inviting tenders to evaluate its activity with underrepresented groups in Higher Education (HE). 

Suppliers will be expected to analyse HESA and UCAS data in line with our outputs and produce written reports on their findings and recommendations.  

We are particularly interested in learning more about: 

• learners from underrepresented groups in HE (especially Disabled Learners, Gypsy Roma Travellers, Black Asian and Minoritised Ethnicities, and Males who are in receipt of Free School Meals (FSMs)) 
• intersectionality within our target learners  
• learners who are in receipt of or have previously claimed FSMs 
• learners studying a variety of qualifications post-16 including attainment levels 

The work will help us to understand how our outreach work is effective, how we can improve our work, contribute to a stronger evidence base, translate our findings into practice, and inform our strategy. These outputs will be communicated to a wide range of stakeholders and our funders. 

The project must be delivered by Monday, 21 August 2023.
