Summary of the contracting process

The University of Exeter procured specialist data, research and consultancy services to support the design, analysis, modelling and implementation of a National Circular Economy Data Observatory. The work is intended to build a robust, scalable evidence base across defined sectors, value chains and policy environments, informing industry practice, policy development and investment decisions. The requirement combines circular-economy policy analysis with data services, data analysis and technical consultancy. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; the buyer is based in Exeter.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Reman Resource Management following an open competition below the applicable threshold. The award was made on 1 July 2026, at a value of £140,000 excluding VAT (£168,000 including VAT). The contract period stated for the award runs from 2 October 2026 to 2 October 2028. This was a single-lot procurement. Three bids were received, with one reaching the final stage. The award criteria were set out in the invitation to tender documents.

This award indicates demand from the University of Exeter for specialist capability at the intersection of circular-economy policy, data and research consultancy. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate they can design and implement an analytical evidence resource, model and analyse data across sectors and value chains, and interpret findings for policy, industry and investment decisions. The scope suggests a need to combine rigorous research and quantitative analysis with practical technical consultancy, rather than provide data services alone. Credible competitors are likely to be able to work across policy environments and translate analysis into evidence that can support decision-making. The completed competition attracted three bids, and an SME supplier reached the final stage and secured the award.
