Classified under the marketing services category, the procurement method employed is an open procedure. The initiative aims to significantly increase the number of international students on campus, where currently fewer than 3% of the 5,000 students are from overseas. The procurement process has reached the award stage, and the contract, valued at £40,000,000, was signed on 1st May 2025. The contract duration includes an initial period of 60 months with an option to extend up to 24 additional months. The services are to be delivered in Shropshire and Staffordshire.

The open procurement procedure allows various sizes of businesses to compete, provided they can demonstrate expertise in these domains. Large-scale firms, such as APPLYBOARD UK LTD, which have already been awarded the contract, highlight the demand for entities with a proven track record in effectively reaching international markets and managing extensive marketing services. Prospective businesses should be prepared to deliver high-quality services, meeting the University’s criteria of 60% quality and 30% price assessment.
