## Summary

The University of Worcester procured a subscription to Students Organising for Sustainability UK (SOS-UK), a charity associated with the National Union of Students. The service covers Responsible Futures, Green Impact and Green Campus Revolution behaviour-change projects. These projects are intended to embed sustainability among university students and staff. The requirement is for subscription and membership organisation services, including structured sustainability programmes rather than a standalone construction, supply or facilities contract. Delivery is for the University of Worcester in Worcester, United Kingdom. The work is relevant to organisations providing sustainability engagement, environmental education, student and staff participation programmes, or membership-based support to universities and other education institutions.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Students Organising for Sustainability. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 15 June 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The agreed value is £26,900 excluding VAT, or £32,280 including VAT. The award covers one completed lot and the contract is active. The selected supplier is an SME and the requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The arrangement is therefore an established purchase for the University of Worcester, with a defined one-year service period and a recorded subscription and membership-services value.

This procurement indicates demand from a university for structured sustainability programmes that change the behaviour of both students and staff. A credible future competitor would need to deliver or coordinate university-focused environmental engagement, with practical programmes capable of embedding sustainability rather than supplying advice alone. Relevant experience would include student participation, staff engagement, behaviour-change activity and membership or subscription-based support. The selected organisation is a charity linked to the National Union of Students and is recorded as a voluntary, community or social enterprise, showing that the buyer accepted a mission-led delivery model as well as a specialist sustainability offer. Suppliers with comparable education-sector relationships, repeatable engagement programmes and the capacity to support several sustainability initiatives would be best placed to compete when this requirement returns.
