UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Exeter procured training services to support PDR activity. The requirement covers training delivered for the university’s professional development review process, described as running from 3 June to 31 July 2026. The buyer is the University of Exeter, a public authority based at Northcote House in Exeter. The procurement is categorised under CPV 80500000, training services. The requirement was arranged as a single package rather than being divided into multiple lots. The work is associated with the university and its training needs; the available information identifies Exeter as the buyer’s base. This is a focused institutional training requirement, rather than a general supply of goods, construction work or a broader facilities-management service.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The University of Exeter used a direct procedure described as below threshold and without competition. One package was awarded to Qa Ltd. The contract was signed on 3 June 2026 and has a period from 4 June 2026 to 3 June 2027. Its value is £26,666 excluding VAT and £31,999.20 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, and the published outcome identifies Qa Ltd as the selected supplier. The arrangement is below the applicable threshold and covers the training-services requirement as one complete package.

This procurement demonstrates a defined demand from the University of Exeter for externally provided training supporting PDR activity, with a contract lasting approximately one year. A supplier considering future work of this type would need to provide training services suitable for a university environment and be able to support an organised professional development programme. Qa Ltd is identified as an SME, showing that the requirement was fulfilled by a smaller specialist supplier rather than necessarily requiring a large national training organisation. The route used was a below-threshold direct award without competition, so credibility with this buyer would include a clear, relevant training offer and evidence that the provider can meet the university’s specific PDR-support needs.
