## Summary

The contracting process for the "GB-Bristol: Office for Students - Franchise Exploration" project is managed by the Office for Students, located in Bristol, United Kingdom. This tender falls under the services industry category, specifically targeting survey services. The procurement process has reached the Award stage, with the award officially announced on 1st October 2025 and involving a contract period from 12th September 2025 to 28th November 2025. The survey project, valued at £27,039.28, is set to occur in the South West region of the UK, and the procurement method remains unspecified within the document.
