UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England, located in Bristol, has concluded a public procurement process for the provision of placement services for its September 2025 student intake. This process, titled "Commission 2025/2026 - Sep 2025 intake for students," falls under the services category, specifically pertaining to the placement services of personnel. The procurement was carried out through a direct method, categorised as below threshold without competition, and has now reached the contract awarding stage, with the status marked as complete. The contract, valued at £59,220 with a gross amount of £71,064, was signed on 16th December 2025. The execution commenced on 17th December 2025 and ended on 18th December 2025, covering delivery within the UKK12 region.

This contract presents a promising opportunity for businesses specialising in placement services who are capable of meeting the University's specific needs. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) offering tailored and efficient personnel placement services would be particularly well-positioned to benefit from similar tenders in the future, as the University may continue seeking specialised service providers. Such procurement methods, while not competitive, reflect the importance of establishing strong reputations and relationships within the public sector to secure informative and lucrative contracts of this nature. The partnering company, U L Consultants Limited, an SME from Edgware, exemplifies the potential for successful engagement in this industry sector.
