UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College commissioned student recruitment services focused on recruiting students in Nigeria. The requirement is described as in-house recruitment, intended to support the college’s student recruitment activity in that country. The award’s service classification is recruitment services. The college is based in Egham, Surrey; the recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom, without a more specific place stated. This is a single-lot service requirement, awarded to Sannam S4 Limited. The scope available here identifies Nigeria as the recruitment market but does not describe particular recruitment channels, student numbers, course areas or operational deliverables. Suppliers should therefore understand this as a focused international student recruitment requirement for a UK higher education institution, rather than general recruitment across sectors or locations.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Sannam S4 Limited. The college used a below-threshold limited competition following a request for quotations. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £28,027 excluding VAT, or £33,632 including VAT. There was one lot, covering the student recruitment service in Nigeria. The award information records the supplier and service but does not state a separate evaluation formula or scoring criteria. The process therefore resulted in a single supplier appointment through a limited quotation exercise; the published outcome does not give further detail on how competing quotations were assessed.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement at Royal Holloway for recruitment of students in Nigeria, delivered as an in-house recruitment service by a specialist supplier. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need the practical capacity to reach prospective Nigerian students and support the institution’s recruitment activity in that market. Relevant experience in international student recruitment, local market knowledge and the ability to work with a UK higher education provider would be commercially pertinent. The award went to Sannam S4 Limited, identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that the work was delivered by an SME rather than requiring a large corporate supplier. The procurement route was a limited competition based on requests for quotations, so suppliers should be capable of responding to a targeted quotation exercise as well as delivering the recruitment service.
