## Summary

Cardiff Metropolitan University procured business and management consultancy services. The requirement is described only in general terms, with no further breakdown of the consultancy work or stated purpose. The awarded service relates to a single lot and is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The buyer is Cardiff Metropolitan University, based at its Llandaff Campus in Cardiff. This is a professional services requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Cardiff Metropolitan University awarded the single-lot contract directly to Professor Richard Tong, without competition, under a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 April 2027. Its recorded value is £41,666 excluding VAT, or £50,000 including VAT. No evaluation criteria or selection basis are stated for this direct award, so the published outcome does not show how competing proposals were assessed. The named supplier is the selected provider; no separate awards or lots are identified.

For consultancy firms, this award shows that Cardiff Metropolitan University purchases business and management advice through a direct, below-threshold route, rather than a competed tender for this requirement. A future supplier seeking comparable work would need to demonstrate credible consultancy capability relevant to the university’s business and management needs, and the capacity to deliver a focused professional services assignment. The award to an individual consultant indicates that the buyer’s requirement could be met by a single provider, rather than requiring a large delivery team or consortium. The procurement gives no stated specialist discipline, accreditation, methodology or experience requirement, so competitors should avoid assuming these were essential to the award.
