## Summary

The University of the West of England commissioned an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) interim specialist service. The work centres on delivering a revised Equality Impact Assessment process, supporting the university’s approach to assessing how its activities affect different groups and addressing equality considerations. It is a professional consultancy service within human resources management consultancy. The buyer is the University of the West of England, based at its Frenchay Campus in Bristol. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The requirement was organised as a single lot and focused on specialist interim EDI support rather than goods, construction or a broad general consultancy programme.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. NB NOTED LTD was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and has an active contract period from 6 September 2026 to 7 September 2026. Its value is £45,000 excluding VAT, or £54,000 including VAT. The requirement was for delivery between July 2026 and January 2027, with the stated deliverable being a revised Equality Impact Assessment process. The award covered the single lot, and the tender is recorded as complete. The procurement used the legal basis of the Procurement Act 2023.

This award shows demand from the University of the West of England for specialist EDI interim support linked to Equality Impact Assessment processes. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable expertise in equality, diversity and inclusion, together with the ability to review and redesign an organisational EIA process and turn it into a practical deliverable. Relevant experience in higher education or another complex public-sector organisation would help demonstrate an understanding of varied stakeholders, institutional decision-making and equality duties. The requirement was fulfilled by an SME providing human resources management consultancy, indicating that a focused specialist consultancy can meet this type of need without being a large generalist provider. Suppliers should be able to provide senior interim capability and clear, usable process outputs.
