Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "762NC Promotional Merchandise" was managed by Leeds Beckett University, aiming to offer promotional merchandise under the CPV category "Information and promotion products" located in Leeds, United Kingdom (UKE42 region). This procurement proceeded through a limited method within the NWUPC Framework, specifically through a direct award without prior publication, and it reached completion on 26th September 2025. The contract, valued at £750,000, was directly awarded to Get Yourself Noticed Ltd, with a focus on quality and cost as the award criteria.

This opportunity provided significant potential for business growth, particularly for SMEs specializing in promotional goods and related services. Businesses adept at delivering high-quality, cost-effective promotional merchandise are well-suited to benefit from such frameworks. The direct award method limits competition, thus favouring businesses already positioned within the framework. This showcases the importance of becoming part of relevant procurement frameworks to access valuable contracts within the public education sector, as demonstrated by Leeds Beckett University's procurement practices. Companies looking to expand their footprint in the educational and promotional product markets can maximise their growth opportunities by aligning with institutional procurement frameworks like NWUPC.
