UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England bought business analysis consultancy services under the requirement titled “Business Analyst”. The work provides additional business analyst time for the university, with the requirement linked to the TAP Framework, reference PFB4037 SU. The service is classified as business analysis consultancy (CPV 72221000). The buying organisation is the University of the West of England, based at Frenchay Campus in Bristol. The published delivery information places the work in the United Kingdom. This is a services requirement rather than a goods supply or construction project, and is intended for organisations providing professional business analysis or related consultancy support to a university or other public-sector client.

This procurement has been awarded and the resulting contract has been signed. The university used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for a single lot. L.A. International Computer Consultants Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and runs from 13 to 14 August 2026. Its value is £21,258.60 excluding VAT, or £25,510.32 including VAT. The requirement extends the Business Analyst service until 2 October 2026, as stated in the procurement description. The award is active and the contract is active. The process was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this award shows the University of the West of England uses external business analysis consultancy to add analyst capacity through the TAP Framework. A credible competitor would need demonstrable business analysis consultancy capability, suitably experienced analysts, and the capacity to provide additional support for a short, defined requirement. Familiarity with public-sector purchasing routes and the ability to work within an established framework would also be relevant. The successful supplier is a large computer consultancy, indicating that the buyer accepted a substantial technology and consultancy provider for this requirement. Businesses with comparable business analysis delivery experience, framework access, and the operational ability to mobilise specialist resource should treat this buyer and requirement as commercially relevant.
