Summary of the contracting process

The University of Gloucestershire procured business and management consultancy to carry out a business transformation discovery and readiness phase focused on an HR capability model. The work is intended to help the university understand its readiness for the transformation and develop the HR capability model. The requirement was delivered in Gloucestershire. The procurement was arranged through G-Cloud, the UK public sector cloud services framework.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Enfuse Group Ltd. The university used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition, through G-Cloud. The contract was signed on 18 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an option to extend for six months if the work cannot be successfully delivered in the initial period; the latest stated end date is 31 March 2028. The contract value is £35,000 excluding VAT (£42,000 including VAT). The requirement was handled as a single lot. No evaluation criteria are stated.

This award shows that the University of Gloucestershire uses consultancy support for business transformation discovery and readiness work, specifically to shape an HR capability model. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate business transformation and management consultancy capability, with experience of discovery and readiness phases and of developing HR capability models. Suppliers should be able to work with a university to assess its organisational needs and translate findings into a practical model. The award was made directly through G-Cloud, so suppliers seeking comparable public sector work should be positioned to deliver through that route. The contract is modest in scale and time-limited, with a possible extension tied to successful delivery within the initial timeframe.
