UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff University’s Campus Futures procurement concerns business services, with a recorded classification covering business, marketing and consulting services. The contracted work is titled Acceleration Programme and is delivered in Cardiff, Wales. The award is for one lot and identifies EMU Interior Design as the supplier. The procurement data does not further describe the programme’s activities or outputs, so the defined scope is limited to the Acceleration Programme title and business-services classification. This requirement is relevant to suppliers whose work fits business or consulting services and who can deliver services for Cardiff University in Cardiff.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to EMU Interior Design. Cardiff University used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 29 September 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its value is £137,000. The process comprised one lot, which is complete. The award records the supplier and service category, but gives no separate evaluation criteria or competitive assessment basis; the procurement route was non-competitive. The contract is active. The stated scope is the Acceleration Programme, classified as business services, with delivery in Cardiff.

For suppliers of business and consulting services, this award shows Cardiff University buying an Acceleration Programme from an SME provider through a below-threshold direct award. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate that it can provide a relevant business-services programme and deliver it for the University in Cardiff. The selected supplier’s SME status indicates that a smaller provider was used for this contract; it does not establish a specific size requirement for future suppliers. The published requirement gives no operational detail on programme content, staffing, qualifications or accreditations, so there is no stated basis for claiming particular specialist credentials or capacity thresholds. Relevant experience in comparable acceleration services would help suppliers evidence fit with the named requirement.
