Summary of the contracting process

The University of Exeter has recently completed a procurement process titled "Contractor Godswill Arum", categorised under services focusing on administration and project management consultancy. The procurement was led by direct method, specifically falling below threshold, hence conducted without competition. Contracts were awarded to Tilo Consulting Limited, with services to be provided from locations within the United Kingdom, primarily from Exeter and Bristol. The procurement related to a renewal project initiated on June 17, 2025, and the contracts are set to be active until June 24, 2026. This process is part of a legal framework based on the UK Public General Acts (UKPGA) 2023/54, underlining the stringent regulatory compliance.
