Summary of the contracting process

The University of East Anglia commissioned consultancy services described as material supplier support for a consultancy project. The work spans business analysis, database services, research and development, economic research, training and environmental issues consultancy. Delivery is in Norwich, at the University’s Norwich Research Park. The broad mix suggests a project requiring research and analytical input alongside database and environmental expertise, with training also within scope. The recorded requirement is a single lot and the services are intended to support the consultancy project rather than supply a standalone physical product.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Economics for the Environment Consultancy Limited (eftec). The University used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 21 October 2026 and runs from 22 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its gross value is £90,726. The award covers the single lot and is active. The published scope identifies business analysis, databases, research and development, economic research, training and environmental consultancy as the service areas. No evaluation basis is recorded for the award, consistent with the stated route without competition.

For suppliers considering similar future work for the University of East Anglia, this award demonstrates demand for consultancy that can combine economic and environmental research with business analysis and database services. A credible competitor would need to show relevant research capability, sound analytical methods and the ability to deliver usable database outputs, while also being able to provide training where required. The breadth of the awarded service areas favours suppliers able to coordinate a multidisciplinary project or bring together suitable specialist partners. Experience translating research into practical consultancy support for a university or comparable public-sector client would help establish fit. The award was made directly without competition, so it does not reveal comparative scoring or a set of evaluation criteria against which future suppliers can position themselves.
