## Summary

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College commissioned specialist strategic service design consultancy to support the CoSTAR National Lab. The work falls within business and management consultancy and related services. The contracting organisation is Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, based in Egham. The stated delivery location is the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery place is identified. The requirement is focused on strategic service design for the National Lab rather than general consultancy. This is a single-service requirement, awarded to one supplier.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Royal Holloway and Bedford New College made a direct award without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. Interval Advisory LLP was selected. The award was made on 2 August 2026, and the contract runs from 3 August to 14 November 2026. Its value is £25,000 excluding VAT and £30,000 including VAT. The procurement was arranged as one lot. The published description identifies the requirement as specialist strategic service design consultancy for the CoSTAR National Lab; it does not set out separate evaluation criteria or eligibility conditions.

For suppliers considering comparable future work from Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, this award signals demand for focused strategic service design consultancy to support the CoSTAR National Lab. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate specialist service-design expertise and the ability to advise strategically in the context of a national research or innovation lab. The buyer used a direct award without competition for this requirement, so the award does not demonstrate an evaluated competitive field or establish specific qualification thresholds. The engagement is a short, discrete consultancy assignment rather than a large-scale delivery programme. Suppliers whose offer combines senior strategic advice with practical service-design capability are the closest fit to the requirement evidenced here.
