Summary of the contracting process

The University of East Anglia commissioned services for students undertaking original research projects in ecology, biodiversity and conservation in a tropical environment. The requirement combines field-course support with specialist environmental training, research support, higher-education services and travel or tour-operator assistance. Delivery is associated with the University’s Norwich base and the field-course activity is for work in Eswatini. The buyer is the University of East Anglia, a public authority and sub-central government body. The service is therefore relevant to organisations that arrange and support overseas academic field courses, provide environmental or conservation training, or enable supervised student research in tropical settings. It is less relevant to general travel providers without educational and field-research capability, or to suppliers offering only classroom-based training.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. All Out Projects Pty Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. Its gross value is £180,000. The requirement was treated as a single lot and the contract is active. The award covers services linked to travel and tour operation, research, higher education, specialist training, training programmes and environmental training. This outcome shows that the University used a non-competitive route for a defined field-course service rather than running an open tender. The arrangement is for a three-year service period supporting the University’s student research activity in Eswatini.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need to combine overseas field-course logistics with academic and environmental delivery. Relevant capability includes arranging safe travel and on-the-ground support, providing structured training in ecology, biodiversity or conservation, and creating conditions in which students can carry out original research in a tropical environment. Experience working with universities, student groups and research-led programmes would be commercially important, as would the operational capacity to coordinate field activity over a sustained contract period. Suppliers able to provide an integrated service—from travel assistance through specialist environmental training and research support—would be better placed than providers offering only one element. The selected supplier’s profile also indicates that a small or specialist international organisation can meet this type of requirement.
