What is being bought

The University of Derby (UoD) is currently developing its procurement requirements and is potentially seeking to appoint one or more providers for a comprehensive organisational re-brand that goes way beyond a logo of the Derby Theatre. Providers are invited to attend a market engagement event to help shape and inform a new service model and service specification. The event will cover an overview of our requirements, as follows: Module A: Brand strategy and consultancy Module B: Design, tone and visual identity Module C: Digital (Website re-skin and potential re-builds) The aim of the market engagement event is to: give an overview of the Lots and services to be provided; explore market experience and appetite; explain the procurement process and anticipated timeline; allows questions and feedback from the market. We are gathering information to enable us to identify potential providers that they can meet the UoD's visions and support our recruitment objectives. The market engagement event will be held virtually using Teams during the week commencing 17 November 2025 (date and time will be confirmed after interest has been registered). To participate in this market engagement exercise please register your interest by completing the MS form online at https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=OrvxmPpegkeIur2JfbYOYkkc7k_dfLBCvBmmbuOv7JRUNUQzWVpRNUVUVUM1NElUVERHWVVFRzhZNi4u by 12 (noon) on 14 November 2025. A maximum of 2 attendees from each organisation can attend.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Advertising and marketing services (79340000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 7910,1504 median · 32.2 average (4,120 of 10,150 with a bid count)3.2 average (4,606 of 10,150 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
