UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Huddersfield is seeking one partner to provide an integrated marketing and student enrolment service for its Distance Learning Unit. The work covers the full recruitment process: generating demand, managing campaigns, integrating the customer relationship management (CRM) system and enrolling students. The aim is to replace fragmented recruitment processes and systems with a connected service that supports prompt engagement and gives the university a clearer view of conversions. This is a marketing and enrolment service, with associated sales and marketing software development. Delivery is for the University of Huddersfield in Huddersfield, supporting its distance-learning activity.

The university invited offers through an open competition for a single partner. The procurement reached the tender stage. The value is £100,000 including VAT. Questions were due by 1 October 2026 at 23:59, and offers by 8 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027, with a renewal option described as “1 Year + 2” and a maximum extent date of 31 October 2029. There is one lot. Evaluation gives quality 80% and price 20%. Electronic submission is allowed.

This opportunity is suited to marketing and enrolment providers able to take end-to-end responsibility rather than relying on hand-offs between separate agencies. Suppliers should be able to bring together demand generation, campaign planning and delivery, CRM integration, recruitment conversion and student enrolment into a coherent service. Experience of connecting marketing activity to enrolment outcomes, improving fragmented recruitment processes and enabling prompt engagement would be directly relevant to the university’s stated objectives. The single-partner model favours businesses with the breadth to manage the full ecosystem, whether through in-house teams or coordinated delivery. Small and medium-sized businesses are considered suitable to compete, and the quality-led evaluation means the strength and credibility of the proposed service matter more than price alone.

Distance Learning Integrated Marketing and Enrolment Solution

Notice Description

The Distance Learning Unit at the University of Huddersfield represents a key strategic growth area.

The objective of this tender is to appoint a single partner capable of managing the full ecosystem from demand generation and campaign mechanics through to CRM integration and student enrolment, without inter-agency handoffs.
