The University of the West of England, located in Bristol, has completed a public procurement process for consultancy services under the iTrent Deep Dive Project. The project falls under the services industry category, specifically business analysis consultancy services, and is intended for delivery in the UK region UKK12. The procurement process was initiated as a tender and culminated in the award stage with a contract signed on the 27th of March 2026.

This direct procurement was conducted below the threshold, without competition.

This contract offers significant prospects for consultancy businesses keen to expand into the services sector specialising in business analysis. Phase 3 Consulting Limited, an SME based in Manchester, was successfully awarded the contract, highlighting opportunities for similar small to medium-sized firms to partake in well-defined, targeted projects within educational institutions.
