What is being bought

Published requirement description

Ravensbourne is looking to recruit an agency for strategic and operational media buying services to deliver paid advertising across brand, recruitment, and bespoke campaigns to help meet strategic recruitment objectives beginning with student recruitment for January 2024 intake onwards.

The University requires integrated brand awareness and direct response campaigns to ensure the Ravensbourne brand is front of mind for more potential students than ever before, across all levels of study.

The successful company is expected to provide researched and strategic campaigns across platforms, which may include traditional media including third party profiles and inventory, national out of home, as well as biddable media including Pay Per Click, display and social media advertising.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 20 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
