UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England, a public authority under the UK sub-central government, has completed a direct procurement process for the services category specifically focusing on placement services of personnel under CPV code 79610000. The contract, titled "Commission 2025/2026 - Sep 2025 intake," involves the recruitment for the September 2025 student intake. Located in Bristol, UK, the procurement was carried out without competition, as it was below the financial threshold. The contract was signed on 19 December 2025, with the active award status starting on 20 December 2025 and ending on 21 December 2025. The contract is valued at £24,910, excluding taxes, with a gross amount of £29,892. The award has been documented and published on 19 January 2026.

This procurement presents a growth opportunity for businesses specialising in educational services and personnel placement, particularly those capable of efficiently managing large-scale student recruitment initiatives. Although the chosen supplier, Adventus Education PTE Ltd, is a large-scale enterprise based in Singapore, this sectoral need signifies potential demand for service offerings from firms experienced in similar placements. Businesses with the capability to support educational institutions in achieving their recruitment objectives, especially those with an interest in international opportunities, would find this sector ripe for expansion. By understanding the non-competitive procurement environment for such contracts, smaller firms can leverage this to approach similar direct procurement opportunities effectively.
