What is being bought

The University of Worcester (UW) is seeking to appoint a Representative to provide services for UW in West Africa including the engagement of an Individual or Individuals to carry out representative activities to deliver marketing and promotional services. UW is looking for a Representative who can provide the back-office support for the services to be delivered. At this stage we are not looking for a more formal presence such as a branded office or to employ anyone directly in the Territories. Please note that a small amendment has been made to the tender process. We understand that the multi stage process under PA23, combined with language barriers, may have prevented some potential suppliers from engaging with the process. The timeline originally set out will continue to be followed. Suppliers who have already completed the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) will not be required to complete it again. However, any supplier wishing to submit a tender will be required to complete a PSQ. For reasons of fairness and transparency, all PSQ submissions will be reviewed following receipt of tenders. Key deadlines: • Tender Documents published 29 April 2026 • Deadline to access tender documents: 11 May 2026 at 17:00 BST • Deadline for clarification questions: 26 May 2026 at 17:00 BST • Tender submission deadline: 1 June 2026 at 10:00 BST

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Marketing services (79342000); 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 7913,7424 median · 30.9 average (5,805 of 13,742 with a bid count)3.2 average (6,511 of 13,742 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)1,0803 median · 6.6 average (21 of 1,080 with a bid count)1 average (21 of 1,080 with named award suppliers)Not published

“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.
