## Summary

The University of the West of England procured assistance services comprising a project manager, technical specialist and senior developer. The requirement supports the university’s project and technical delivery needs and is classified as project management consultancy services (CPV 72224000). The buying organisation is the University of the West of England, based at Frenchay Campus in Bristol. The awarded service covered activity for the university rather than a supply of physical goods or construction works. This is a focused professional services requirement for suppliers able to provide project management capability alongside technical specialist and senior software development expertise. The procurement was arranged as a single lot.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. DIEGESIS LIMITED was selected as the supplier. The contract was awarded on 3 July 2026, signed on 3 July 2026 and runs from 4 July 2026 to 31 July 2026. Its value is £30,090 excluding VAT, or £36,108 including VAT. The University of the West of England used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome records one supplier for the single lot. The process therefore represents a short, below-threshold professional services engagement rather than a competed tender with multiple bidders or separately awarded lots.

This award indicates demand from the University of the West of England for blended delivery capability: project management consultancy, technical specialism and senior software development. Suppliers best placed for a comparable future requirement would be able to provide an experienced project manager alongside technically credible specialists and a senior developer, with the capacity to work as a joined-up service rather than offering only one role. Diegesis Limited is recorded as a small and medium-sized enterprise, showing that this scale and service mix can be delivered by an SME. Competitors should be able to demonstrate practical experience managing projects while supplying hands-on technical and development expertise for a university environment.
