Scope of works
HESA (part of Jisc) are seeking a supplier to support the annual coding of occupational information. Following its merger with the Higher Education Statistics Agency, Jisc has retained 'HESA' as a brand name, and Jisc's functions, activities and role as the DDB are undertaken by a dedicated directorate within Jisc, operating under the HESA brand. References to HESA within the Specification do not mean any legal entity. This will include Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) and Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), along with some additional information to supplement this. The supply of this data will support our role as the designated data body for the HE sector, ensuring high quality, consistent classification of employer data. As survey responses are received, HESA/Jisc will securely make available to the supplier, in batches, an overnight file of the employer, course and role information to enable the supplier to complete the required SIC and SOC coding and return it to HESA/Jisc using an encrypted secure bulk data sending system. In addition to the purposes set out below, the coding will be used by Jisc to update and feed into the Graduate Outcomes provider dashboards so that Providers have visibility of the progress and outcomes of the coding. HESA/Jisc will run the Graduate Outcomes survey, working with third-party suppliers to manage the call centre system for contact management and to provide an online survey. It will be necessary for the supplier to join review calls with HESA/Jisc and HESA/Jisc's third-party suppliers to feedback any improvements required to the job role and employer data to improve the accuracy of coding.
