UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England procured business analyst services for its work in Bristol. The requirement is business analysis consultancy, covering the provision of a business analyst under the TAP Framework, reference PFB4037 SU. The buyer is the University of the West of England, based at Frenchay Campus in Bristol. The contracted service is classified as business analysis consultancy services. This is a professional services requirement rather than the supply of goods, construction works or an IT product. It is relevant to consultancies and specialist practitioners providing business analysis, requirements analysis and related advisory support to universities or other public-sector organisations. The work is associated with the University’s operations in Bristol.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. L.A. International Computer Consultants Limited was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and runs from 31 August 2026 to 27 November 2026. Its value is £30,921.60 excluding VAT, or £37,105.92 including VAT. The tender description states that the business analyst service is required until 27 November 2026 under TAP Framework reference PFB4037 SU. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, with the requirement placed through the identified framework.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for business analysis consultancy from the University of the West of England, delivered through its TAP Framework route. A future competitor would need a business analyst or consultancy service able to provide structured business analysis support to a higher-education organisation, with the capacity to deliver a focused professional-services engagement rather than a broad technology implementation. Experience of working with public-sector or university clients would help establish credibility, particularly where the work involves understanding organisational needs, analysing requirements and supporting business change. Suppliers should also assess whether they can participate through the relevant framework route or an equivalent approved purchasing arrangement. The awarded supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller consultancy as well as a large provider.
