UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bournemouth University procured business analysis and management consultancy services to assess the potential for delivering medical education within its Faculty of Health, Environment and Medical Sciences. The work covers the strategic, financial, regulatory and delivery viability of developing medical education provision. It is relevant to consultancies with experience in higher education strategy, medical or health education planning, business analysis, financial appraisal, regulatory assessment and implementation planning. The buying organisation is Bournemouth University, based at its Talbot Campus in Poole. Delivery is associated with the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area. The requirement is a single consultancy service rather than goods, construction works or a multi-lot programme.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Bournemouth University used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. Higher Futures Ltd was selected for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026, with a contract period from 27 July 2026 to 16 October 2026. Its value is £40,000 excluding VAT, or £48,000 including VAT. The awarded service is classified as business analysis consultancy and business and management consultancy. The process was evaluated through the buyer’s direct-award approach rather than a competitive tender. The contract is recorded as active, and the award is also recorded as active.

This award indicates a defined requirement for specialist advice on whether a university can develop and deliver medical education successfully. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to combine higher education strategy with practical knowledge of medical or health education delivery. Relevant capability would include assessing strategic fit, building or reviewing financial models, understanding regulatory constraints, testing delivery options and turning findings into an implementable recommendation. Experience advising universities, faculties or other education and healthcare organisations would help demonstrate suitability. The selected route was a below-threshold direct award without competition, so suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer should understand how to present a focused, integrated consultancy offer for a contained feasibility and viability assessment.
