Tender description
With a large and diverse membership of staff and students, it is important for the University to have in place a fair, transparent, accessible and robust process for dealing with complaints and allegations of misconduct. The University also recognises the potential risk to its reputation and considers that, in order to improve the management of this risk and thereby protect the Queen's brand and also being mindful of the University's core values, it would be desirable to engage the services of a firm of investigators to conduct complex or high-risk investigations. Therefore, the University is seeking to engage a Supplier to undertake investigations into complaints and allegations of misconduct brought by/against students and by/against members of staff. Such complaints or allegations may be complex, sensitive or pose a high risk to the University and may include allegations of sexual misconduct or inappropriate behaviour; allegations of racism, sexism, homophobia; allegations of bullying, harassment, discrimination ## Contract award Title: Contract for the Provision of External Investigator Service
