## Description
The University of Chester invited tenders for a specialist Higher Education marketing agency through the UK Open Procedure under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 to support primarily with media planning and buying for its student recruitment campaigns.

Further to this, from time-to-time, the University may wish to tap into any creative services available within the agency to help with the production of creative assets and development of our messaging strategy.
