Summary of the contracting process

The University of Worcester has concluded a procurement process for Chartered Management Institute Course Membership, specifically targeting the education sector and located in Worcester, UK. The tender, identified as RTW35, facilitates 134 business school students in becoming CMI Affiliate Members with access to a comprehensive learning portal and qualification upon course completion. This contract, governed by UK legislation 2023/54, was awarded directly to the Chartered Management Institute under a light touch regime. Notably, this is a below-threshold procurement conducted without competition. The contract, valued at £180,972, commenced on 1st September 2025 and will run until 30th August 2031.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for educational institutions and training providers to integrate industry-recognised certification within their business school curriculums, thereby enhancing their educational offerings.
