Notice Information
Notice Title
Contract Title: Mexico Representative
Notice Description
Cardiff University would like to appoint an 'in-country representative' in Mexico. This would be via one of our education agents we already work with, called Inova (rather than via a Launchpad Service). The education agent will employ the individual, and we will direct their work to achieve our outcomes. The representative will be primarily engaged in activities in countries across North America, with the main focus on the United States (primary market) and Canada and Mexico (secondary markets).
Procurement Information
We have been unable to source another supplier in Mexico that can provide an in-country representative that can target the market CU require. There are other suppliers available in the Americas but they do not provide value for money and may not cover Latin America, which is one of the locations CU wish to target.
