Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham Trent University (NTU) initiated a procurement process for the provision of creative services under a framework agreement, aimed at appointing a roster of professional creatives with expertise in both print and digital mediums. The procurement, categorised under advertising campaign services (CPV 79341400), was aimed at delivering comprehensive creative services including campaign, brand, and creative strategy, as well as graphic design, across all media forms. The contracting process encompasses two distinct lots: Lot 1 for Campaign, Brand and Creative Strategy, and Lot 2 for Graphic Design Services. The procurement was undertaken using a selective method under a restricted procedure, with the final contracts signed on 1 May 2025. The engagement spans the UK, specifically targeting the region UKF14, and involved multiple SMEs as suppliers.

This tender opportunity presents significant prospects for SMEs specialising in creative services to expand their business footprint through collaboration with an esteemed academic institution like NTU. Businesses with strengths in end-to-end creative campaign delivery, including strategy and brand development, as well as proficiency in using Adobe Creative Cloud, are particularly well-suited to participate. The opportunity to be part of a selective framework agreement allows for ongoing assignments and the potential for long-term business relationships, as suppliers are afforded the chance to work alongside NTU Marketing, enhancing both their portfolio and credibility in the public sector. The engagement further promises recurrent opportunities, given the framework's potential duration and renewal terms.
