UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England is procuring Info4education, a university-level adult education service. The requirement is classified as adult-education services at university level and is intended to support the university’s education provision. The buying organisation is the University of the West of England, a public authority based at Frenchay Campus in Bristol. The selected supplier is JISC Services Limited, also based in Bristol. The service is associated with the university’s delivery area and relates specifically to higher and adult education rather than general training, consultancy or unrelated education services. Businesses with a service offering focused on adult learning in a university environment, and able to work with a higher education institution, would find this requirement the closest match.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The University of the West of England used a direct award below the threshold without competition, under the legal basis recorded for the process. One lot was completed. JISC Services Limited received the award, which is active. The contract was signed on 4 June 2026 and runs from 5 June 2026 to 31 May 2027. Its value is £23,246.20 excluding VAT, or £27,895.44 including VAT. The award date is not separately recorded, but the contract was signed before the contract period began. The opportunity was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so there was no competitive evaluation basis or bid comparison for suppliers to assess.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award is a clear indication that the University of the West of England buys a defined adult-education service for university-level delivery through a direct, below-threshold route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable experience delivering adult education in a higher education setting, with services that can be aligned to a university’s academic and operational environment. It would also need the capacity to support the requirement for the full service period, maintain dependable delivery and work with university stakeholders. Familiarity with public-sector contracting and the ability to respond efficiently to a direct-award or other below-threshold purchasing route would be commercially relevant.
