UCAS

Project:
Advice on setting up a nursery and selection of tender candidates.

Delivery included:
Business analysis, writing of tender, evaluation and selection of candidates.

“As UCAS embarked on the delivery of a nursery, we needed impartial and expert advice to support and guide us through the maze of legislation, business operations and delivery of an in-house nursery solution. After a competitive tender, SmartPractice were selected.

SmartPractice have and continue to provide invaluable support to the project and guided us through some difficult decisions. Running a nursery is certainly not our core business and SmartPractice have understood this and provide reassurance and at times challenge to our decision making.”
