<ServicedOrganisation>
  <OrganisationCode>Bournemouth_University</OrganisationCode>
  <Name>Bournemouth University</Name>
  <WorkingDays>
    <DateRange>
      <StartDate>2021-09-20</StartDate>
      <EndDate>2021-12-19</EndDate>
    </DateRange>
  </WorkingDays>
</ServicedOrganisation>

      <ServicedOrganisationRef>Bournemouth_University</ServicedOrganisationRef>
    </WorkingDays>
  </DaysOfOperation>
</ServicedOrganisationDayType>
