## Summary

The University of Exeter procured training services to support PDR activity. The requirement covers training delivered for the university’s professional development review process, described as running from 3 June to 31 July 2026. The buyer is the University of Exeter, a public authority based at Northcote House in Exeter. The procurement is categorised under CPV 80500000, training services. The requirement was arranged as a single package rather than being divided into multiple lots. The work is associated with the university and its training needs; the available information identifies Exeter as the buyer’s base. This is a focused institutional training requirement, rather than a general supply of goods, construction work or a broader facilities-management service.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The University of Exeter used a direct procedure described as below threshold and without competition. One package was awarded to Qa Ltd. The contract was signed on 3 June 2026 and has a period from 4 June 2026 to 3 June 2027. Its value is £26,666 excluding VAT and £31,999.20 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, and the published outcome identifies Qa Ltd as the selected supplier. The arrangement is below the applicable threshold and covers the training-services requirement as one complete package.

This procurement demonstrates a defined demand from the University of Exeter for externally provided training supporting PDR activity, with a contract lasting approximately one year. A supplier considering future work of this type would need to provide training services suitable for a university environment and be able to support an organised professional development programme. Qa Ltd is identified as an SME, showing that the requirement was fulfilled by a smaller specialist supplier rather than necessarily requiring a large national training organisation. The route used was a below-threshold direct award without competition, so credibility with this buyer would include a clear, relevant training offer and evidence that the provider can meet the university’s specific PDR-support needs.
