We are seeking a supplier that can support our recruitment objectives from campaign
planning through to delivery. This will be achieved through a detailed knowledge of our
target audiences combined with a deep knowledge of paid for social and search platforms. Activities may range from overarching University level awareness raising and promotion, to
subject area specific activities as well as individual courses.
We work with a roster of design agencies to deliver the creative for many of our campaigns however, creative expertise and support, whether developing initial concepts or adapting existing creative for specific channels is something that we expect the successful bidder to be able to fulfil.
Lot #2Offline advertising (Out of Home)AwardedRenewal
We will work with an agency to develop and deliver tightly targeted offline/out-of-home
awareness and student recruitment campaigns. Activity is usually planned to coincide
with key dates in the recruitment calendar.
- in advance of recruitment events,
- in the run-up to application deadlines
- and for UG students, in advance of Clearing.
- When budgets allow, we also run awareness boosting activity when students
are in the research and consideration periods of their university application
journey.
The main focus of this activity for prospective students will be to raise awareness of
the university, prompt visits to our website and to drive appropriate visitors to the open
day booking pages on our website.
We require an agency to work with us to maximise the value of our budgets and help
us plan our activity to reach our priority audiences as efficiently as possible.

How this buyer will score bids.
The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).
Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.
| Lot | Quality | Price | Split |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Online advertising (Digital) | 90% | 10% | |
| 2 · Offline advertising (Out of Home) | 90% | 10% |
- Price carries 10 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 1 point.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
