HESA has undertaken a rapid assimilation of benchmarking activity across the HE sector, with a particular focus on improving efficiency, and has published a report summarising the findings. This covers data sources, an inventory of benchmarking activities and a number of more in-depth case studies. The report makes a number of recommendations with the aim of enhancing benchmarking capacity and capability in the sector to support increasing efficiencies.
HESA is currently planning a next phase of work that will include a number of strands aimed at addressing the recommendations, working closely with other sector initiatives on modernisation and efficiency.
