UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College engaged Support Through Court to provide placements for students from its Law School. The placements connect law students with the work of Support Through Court, a legal-support organisation. This is a student-placement service rather than a purchase of legal advice or general higher education provision. The buying organisation is Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, based in Egham, Surrey. The service is recorded as being delivered in the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery location is stated.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Royal Holloway and Bedford New College made a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold, to Support Through Court. The award was for the single lot and is classified as a service. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its value is £125,000 excluding VAT and £150,000 including VAT. The procurement description identifies placements for Law School students as the requirement; no separate evaluation criteria are recorded. Support Through Court is the selected supplier.

For suppliers considering comparable student-placement work for Royal Holloway, the relevant capability is the ability to provide meaningful placements through an organisation whose work is relevant to law students. A credible provider would need to support the relationship between the university’s Law School and the placement setting, and be able to sustain the service over a multi-year contract. Support Through Court’s selection demonstrates that the buyer has used a direct award without competition for this requirement, rather than a competitive tender. The opportunity is specific to Law School placements and this buyer; suppliers focused only on delivering classroom teaching or unrelated legal services may not be a close fit.
