This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).
(1)The OfS may, at any time, by a further order under section 42(1), vary or revoke an authorisation given by a previous order under that provision.
(2)That is the case even if the authorisation was given for an indefinite period.
(3)The OfS may make such an order revoking an authorisation given to a provider only if condition A, B or C is satisfied.
(4)Condition A is satisfied if the provider ceases to be a registered higher education provider.
(5)Condition B is satisfied if—
(a)the OfS has concerns regarding the quality of, or the standards applied to, higher education which has been or is being provided by the provider, and
(b)it appears to the OfS that those concerns are so serious that—
(i)its powers by a further order under section 42(1) to vary the authorisation are insufficient to deal with the concerns (whether or not they have been exercised in relation to the provider), and
(ii)it is appropriate to revoke the authorisation.
(6)Condition C is satisfied if—
(a)due to a change in circumstances since the authorisation was given, the OfS has concerns regarding the quality of, or the standards applied to, higher education which will be provided by the provider, and
(b)it appears to the OfS that those concerns are so serious that—
(i)its powers by a further order under section 42(1) to vary the authorisation are insufficient to deal with the concerns (whether or not they have been exercised in relation to the provider), and
(ii)it is appropriate to revoke the authorisation.
(7)Where there are one or more sector-recognised standards, for the purposes of subsections (5)(a) and (6)(a)—
(a)the OfS’s concerns regarding the standards applied must be concerns regarding the standards applied in respect of matters for which there are sector-recognised standards, and
(b)those concerns must be regarding those standards as assessed against sector-recognised standards.
(8)See sections 46 and 48 which make further provision about further orders under section 42(1).
