## Summary

The University of the West of England procured project management services for its SIS Project. The requirement was for a project manager, with the published description referring to the engagement as lasting until 20 July. The work falls within business analysis consultancy and project management consultancy, covering professional support to manage and analyse a university project. The buyer is the University of the West of England, based at Frenchay Campus in Bristol. Delivery was in the United Kingdom. This is a professional services requirement suited to recruitment businesses, project management consultancies and individual project delivery specialists able to provide an appropriately experienced project manager for a higher education change or systems programme.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. The University of the West of England used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. One lot was completed and the contract was awarded to GRAVITAS RECRUITMENT GROUP LIMITED. The award was active and dated 16 July 2026; the contract was signed on 16 July 2026. The contract period ran from 17 July 2026 to 18 July 2026. Its value was £100,100 excluding VAT and £120,120 including VAT. The award covered business analysis consultancy services and project management consultancy services. This outcome shows that the buyer sourced the requirement through a non-competitive below-threshold route rather than an open tender.

For a competitor, this award is evidence that the University of the West of England buys specialist project management support for major internal systems or change programmes. A credible supplier would need to provide a project manager who can lead delivery in a university environment and combine structured project management with business analysis capability. Relevant strengths would include coordinating stakeholders, translating organisational needs into deliverable requirements, managing implementation activity and supporting the buyer through a defined project engagement. The selected supplier was a large recruitment group, indicating that access to an established pool of suitable project professionals and the ability to supply quickly were commercially relevant to this requirement.
