UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff University procured an extension to a project manager role supporting programme activities in North Wales. The work covers project management for activities involving Bangor University, the NHS, and other higher and further education institutions. Bangor University agreed to act as lead partner and host the post. The service is classified as recruitment services, although the stated requirement is specifically project management support rather than general recruitment. Delivery is in North Wales, with Bangor University central to the programme. This is a university-led service requirement focused on coordinating activities across education and health partners in the region.

The procurement is complete and awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Bangor University was selected as supplier and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 1 August 2026 and runs from 1 August to 31 December 2026. Its value is £27,000 excluding VAT (£32,400 including VAT). The award relates to a single lot, also marked complete. The requirement was an extension of an existing project manager role; the source gives no separate scored evaluation criteria for the award. The procurement was made under the Procurement Act 2023.

For suppliers considering similar future work for Cardiff University, this award indicates demand for project management capacity supporting a regional programme delivered with universities, the NHS and other education providers. A credible provider would need to coordinate activities across multiple partner organisations, maintain delivery relationships and provide continuity in an established project manager role. Bangor University’s position as lead partner and host shows the value of being able to operate within a university partnership and support work across North Wales. The award was made directly without competition, so suppliers should recognise that this particular extension was not an open competitive exercise. The requirement is a focused, time-limited management service rather than a broad recruitment contract.
