The procurement process for the "Financial Sustainability Consultancy," initiated by the Office for Students, a public authority in the sub-central government category, is now complete. This consultancy project, which falls under the "Business and management consultancy and related services" category, was a direct procurement without competition, as it was below the threshold. The location of the project is the United Kingdom, specifically in the South West region, with a contract period running from 4 June 2025 to 30 September 2025. The contract was signed on 3 June 2025.

Given the nature of the procurement method—direct and below threshold—the process favours businesses that can swiftly provide specialised consultancy services without the need for competitive bidding. The contract value is significant at £28,800 gross, offering ample room for business expansion.
