Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England, located in Bristol, has completed the procurement process for the project titled "Commission 2025/2026 Student Intake." This initiative falls under the services category with a focus on placement services of personnel. The procurement followed a direct method, executed below the threshold without competition, reflecting a streamlined approach. This contract was awarded to PTC Education Consultants, an SME based in Mauritius. Key dates of this procurement include the contract period from 26th November to 27th November 2025 and the signing date of 25th November 2025. The project is related to sub-central government authority operations, situated in the UKK12 region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational consultancy and placement services within the public sector.
