## Summary

The University of Exeter procured business and management consultancy services to support the launch of its new Centre for Professional Education and Partnerships. The work involves providing supportive guidance and facilitation to internal stakeholders, helping the centre launch successfully. Delivery is for the University of Exeter in Exeter. The requirement is relevant to consultancy firms that advise organisations through the development and launch of new education, professional learning or partnership functions, particularly where the work depends on engaging and coordinating internal stakeholders. It also suits providers offering structured guidance and facilitation rather than a purely technical product or construction service. The procurement concerns a single service requirement for the university, with Hatch Transforms Ltd identified as the selected supplier.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The University of Exeter used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the Procurement Act 2023. Hatch Transforms Ltd was awarded the single requirement. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026 and runs from 28 July 2026 to 27 July 2027. Its value is £39,004.29 excluding VAT and £46,805.15 including VAT. The original description states a total of £37,750 excluding VAT, plus travel and accommodation expenses. The stated purpose is to support the successful launch of the centre by September 2026. The award is active and the contract is active; no competitive evaluation basis or scored award criteria are recorded.

For a supplier that did not win this requirement, the award demonstrates demand from the University of Exeter for specialist consultancy supporting a new centre involving professional education and partnerships. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to show business and management consultancy capability, with practical experience of providing supportive guidance to internal stakeholders and facilitating progress towards a defined organisational launch. Relevant evidence would include work helping universities or similar organisations establish new education, professional learning or partnership functions, alongside a clear approach to stakeholder engagement, structured advice and coordinated implementation. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist consultancy can be suitable for this type of requirement. The buyer’s use of a direct, below-threshold route also makes awareness of its specific organisational needs and prior relevant experience important.
