UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bournemouth University procured consultancy services to develop an Innovation and Enterprise Operating Model, including an Innovation Hub. The work covers business analysis and business and management consultancy supporting the university’s approach to innovation and enterprise. Bournemouth University is the buying organisation, and delivery is in the United Kingdom. The requirement is therefore relevant to consultancies that advise universities or similar public-sector organisations on operating models, innovation ecosystems, enterprise development and the design or development of innovation hubs. It is a professional services opportunity rather than a construction, equipment supply or general facilities-management contract. The awarded supplier, University Industry Innovation Network B.V., is based in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Bournemouth University used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, for a single lot. University Industry Innovation Network B.V. was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and runs from 24 July 2026 to 3 November 2026. Its value is £39,855 excluding VAT, or £47,826 including VAT. The contract is active. The award covers consultancy services classified as business analysis consultancy and business and management consultancy. The available outcome shows one supplier receiving the requirement; no competitive evaluation basis is stated. This was a below-threshold procurement conducted without a competitive tender.

This award demonstrates a defined demand from Bournemouth University for specialist advice on innovation and enterprise operating models and the development of an Innovation Hub. A credible future competitor would need experience in business analysis and management consultancy, with the ability to translate innovation and enterprise objectives into a practical operating model. Relevant organisations would understand how universities structure innovation activity, engage industry and support enterprise development, rather than offering only general strategy advice. The requirement also suits a focused consultancy or specialist network with the capacity to deliver a discrete operating-model assignment for a university. University Industry Innovation Network B.V. is identified as an SME, showing that this type of work can be delivered by a smaller specialist provider.
