Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of East Anglia (UEA) has successfully completed its procurement process for establishing a Creative Services Framework, as part of the open procurement method. This framework will facilitate the procurement of diverse creative services, such as marketing, graphic design, and videography, among others, and will be used across the entire university, managed by the ARM department. The procurement process concluded with an award on 14th August 2025, and the contract period is set from 28th July 2025 to 17th March 2028. Located in the East of England, with postal code NR47TJ, UEA sought suppliers who were suitable for a wide range of creative skill sets within the marketing services category, classified under CPV code 79342000.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in creative services, particularly those providing niche or comprehensive solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete for contracts under this framework, as the procurement is geared towards flexibility and innovation, allowing suppliers to engage in ad hoc and specialised projects beyond the scope of the UEA's lead creative agency. The framework's diverse requirements, ranging from animation to social media consultancy, open up avenues for various creative and digital firms to collaborate with a prominent educational institution, thereby enhancing their portfolios and expanding their client base.
