UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Birmingham procured business analysis consultancy services for a Business Analyst requirement under its SSA process. The named requirement was “VEAT Real Staffing - Business Analyst”, indicating a staffing or consultancy engagement focused on business analysis rather than software development, construction or goods supply. The work was for the University of Birmingham, based in Edgbaston, Birmingham, with delivery stated across the United Kingdom. The procurement was classified as business analysis consultancy services. This is relevant to consultancies, recruitment and professional services firms that provide qualified business analysts, business analysis support or related specialist personnel to higher education and other public-sector organisations.

This procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to STHREE PARTNERSHIP LLP. The University used a direct award procedure described as below threshold and without competition, under the SSA process. The contract was signed on 18 November 2024 and ran from 19 November 2024 to 31 March 2025. Its value was £64,000 including applicable taxes, and it was below the relevant threshold. The procurement comprised one completed lot. The award was active and the contract was active in the published outcome. The evaluation basis was therefore a direct award without a competitive tender, rather than a price-and-quality competition between multiple bidders.

For competitors, this outcome is evidence that the University of Birmingham buys specialist business analysis capability through a direct, below-threshold route and through the SSA process. A credible supplier for a future requirement of this type would need to provide business analysts or business analysis consultancy, match specialist personnel to the client’s requirement and manage delivery for a public-sector higher education organisation. Firms with an established staffing or consultancy operation, access to suitably experienced business analysts and the capacity to support assignments across the United Kingdom are the closest fit. Familiarity with the University’s procurement approach and the administrative requirements of the SSA process would also strengthen a supplier’s position when a comparable requirement returns to market.
