## Summary

The University of Nottingham is looking to appoint a supplier for Operational Management Services to UNIP, with a contract value of £60,000. This procurement falls under the category of Research Services and is situated in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement method used was a direct approach via a single tender action, reflecting that it was below threshold. The contract period commenced on 11 February 2022 and concluded on the same day, while the tender period ended on 10 February 2022. The process is now complete as of the award date on 11 February 2022.

This tender presents an opportunity for business growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in research services. Companies with experience in operational management within academic or research settings would be well-suited to compete. The need for continuity in service provision suggests there may be ongoing demand for similar services, opening further pathways for interested suppliers to engage with the University of Nottingham and potentially expand their contract portfolio.

## Notice

We need to appoint quickly to ensure continuity of service provision and the fact the provider had direct experience of UNIP which reduced risks associate with delivery. We also sort alternative providers via UKSPA; they only gave us one other potential supplier who could only provide 2 days a week which is not sufficient.
