UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bangor University procured consultancy services to support the development of a tuition fee strategy. The work concerns business and management consulting focused on tuition fee policy and strategy, rather than the supply of goods or construction works. Bangor University is the public-sector buyer, based in Bangor, Wales. The awarded work is intended to support the university’s strategic approach to tuition fees and is delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement comprised one service requirement. The selected supplier is Nous Group, a consultancy classified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. This opportunity is relevant to consultancies with experience in higher education strategy, tuition fee policy, market analysis or related institutional planning.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Nous Group. Bangor University used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and runs from 20 July 2026 to 11 September 2026. Its value is £76,999.99 excluding VAT, or £92,399.98 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation was therefore conducted through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The requirement was treated as a single lot. The procurement relates to services and was completed under the Welsh devolved procurement regulations applicable to Bangor University. The award date is 20 July 2026.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Bangor University for specialist consultancy to shape tuition fee strategy. A future competitor would need to present a credible higher education advisory offer, with the ability to analyse tuition fee issues and turn that analysis into a practical institutional strategy. Relevant capability may include strategic consulting, evidence-led policy development, stakeholder engagement and clear advice for university decision-makers. Suppliers should be able to manage a focused assignment for a public university and deliver useful outputs within a defined project period. Nous Group’s classification as an SME also indicates that this type of requirement can be delivered by a specialist consultancy rather than only by a large professional-services firm.
