Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool Hope University procured a software platform to create and host online brochures, primarily for marketing and student recruitment across the UK and internationally. The requirement is for digital prospectus services rather than printed materials: the platform supports the university’s promotion of its courses and recruitment of students through online brochures. The procurement was categorised as marketing and advertising services (CPV 79340000), with delivery in the United Kingdom. The buyer is Liverpool Hope University, based in Liverpool. The contract covers provision and hosting of the platform, serving the university’s UK and international recruitment activity.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to Foleon B.V. through an open, below-threshold competition. The award is for one lot. The contract was signed on 25 June 2026 and runs from 29 June 2026 to 28 June 2029. Its awarded value is £103,255 excluding VAT (£123,906 including VAT). The original estimated value was £72,000 excluding VAT (£86,400 including VAT). The stated initial term for the lot was three years from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2029, with an option to extend by up to two years, to 30 April 2031. Evaluation weighted quality at 70% and price at 30%. Bidders needed employers’ liability cover of £5 million, public liability cover of £10 million and professional indemnity cover of £5 million, held or committed to by the contract start date.

This award shows demand at Liverpool Hope University for a hosted digital prospectus platform used in marketing and student recruitment across UK and international audiences. Suppliers considering similar work for this buyer would need to provide a dependable software platform for producing and hosting online brochures, and demonstrate that it can support recruitment communications across those markets. The evaluation favoured quality over price, so credible competitors would need to evidence the platform’s suitability and service quality as well as offer competitive pricing. The stated insurance thresholds indicate that suppliers must be able to carry substantial employers’, public and professional liability cover, or commit to obtaining it by the start of the contract. The selected supplier is an SME, and the lot was marked suitable for SMEs.
