Summary of the contracting process

Bangor University commissioned design services for a research project. The work covers developing an interactive resource and producing a summary of the project’s findings. It is a service requirement combining creative development, presentation of research outputs and marketing management consultancy. The buying organisation is Prifysgol Bangor / Bangor University, a public authority in Wales, and the work is associated with delivery in the Bangor area. The requirement is focused on making research findings accessible through an interactive resource and a clear findings summary, rather than on construction, goods supply or general university support. Suppliers with experience turning research or technical material into engaging digital resources and concise, audience-appropriate summaries would find the subject matter most relevant.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Bangor University used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Nifty Fox Creative Ltd was selected for the single lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 1 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 28 August 2026. Its value is £30,329.98 excluding VAT and £36,395.99 including VAT. The award concerns services classified as marketing management consultancy, alongside the stated design-services scope. The recorded contract title is Development of interactive resource and findings summary for research project. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, and no separate award criteria are recorded.

For competitors, this award shows Bangor University buys focused creative services to turn research outputs into an interactive resource and a concise findings summary. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need to combine design capability with the ability to understand research material, structure findings clearly and communicate them to the intended audience. Useful experience would include interactive or digital resource development, information design, editorial summarisation and marketing or communications consultancy. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large agency. Businesses with a portfolio of research, education or public-sector communications work would be well placed to assess similar opportunities from this buyer.
