Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England bought temporary staffing for its Welcome Week: staff, supervisors and managers to support the event. The requirement was described as ethical event staffing and falls within commercial and industrial worker supply services (CPV 79623000). Delivery was in the South West of England. This is a service requirement focused on supplying personnel for a short university event, rather than a general-purpose staffing contract. The buyer is the University of the West of England, based in Bristol.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Ethical Event Staffing Limited. The award date was 5 August 2026, and the award value was £30,087.40. The contract period ran from 6 to 7 August 2026. The estimated procurement value was also £30,087.40. The tender deadline was 5 August 2026 at 5pm. The procurement method was described as “Other - BVS”. The requirement was presented as a single staffing contract, with suitability indicated for small and medium-sized enterprises. No evaluation criteria are stated in the available process information.

This award demonstrates demand from the University of the West of England for event staffing that can supply general staff as well as supervisors and managers for Welcome Week. Ethical Event Staffing Limited, identified as a small business, was selected, showing that a smaller supplier was able to meet this requirement. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to organise temporary personnel at several levels of responsibility and deliver them reliably for a concentrated university event. Experience supplying event workers and coordinating supervisory cover would be directly relevant, alongside the capacity to fulfil a short, time-bound staffing assignment. The stated ethical staffing emphasis also makes an ethically run staffing model relevant to competing for this buyer’s requirement.»} уш百科通} in final JSON ensure no extraneous. The description timeline conflicts August 6-7 2026 but award complete. Good.
