UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Fleet St Consultation" project was conducted by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, focusing on advisory services related to student accommodation consultation at 65 Fleet Street, London, EC4Y 8BQ. The procurement falls within the services category under the industry classification for advisory and consultative engineering services. The entire process has reached the "Award" stage, as the contract was awarded to Student First Group Ltd. The contract was signed on 1st April 2024, with a service period from 3rd April 2024 to 22nd December 2025, valued at £36,000. The procurement method was direct and conducted "below threshold - without competition," signifying a non-competitive selection due to the value being under a specified threshold. The contracting authority is classified as a public authority under sub-central government.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in providing advisory and consultative engineering services, especially those specialising in student accommodation consultancy. Companies with expertise in running competitions and issuing recommendation papers for nomination agreements would benefit greatly from a similar tender. Given the direct procurement method and the associated values, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), like the awarded supplier Student First Group Ltd, are particularly well-suited for this type of engagement. The focus on a specific location in London indicates a preference for organisations that can offer tailored local advisory services, providing a platform for companies to expand their footprint in the public sector consultancy market.
