UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of East Anglia is buying recruitment services to attract state-sponsored students from India, through agency representation. The work supports UEA Global, which uses a network of overseas education representatives, and includes recruitment activity for this student group. Advertising and marketing and higher education services are also listed alongside recruitment. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; the buyer is based at Norwich Research Park in Norwich. This requirement is a single-lot service rather than a wider programme of unrelated goods or works. It is specifically focused on recruiting students sponsored by the Indian state, so it is most relevant to education recruitment agencies with access to this market and experience connecting sponsored students with UK universities.

The procurement is complete: the University of East Anglia selected StudyPath and signed an active contract. The contract was signed on 7 October 2026 and runs from 8 October to 31 December 2026. Its gross value is £84,168. The process used a direct award below the threshold, without competition, and had one lot. The contract covers agency commission for recruitment of state-sponsored students from India. The award is active and the contract is recorded as active. StudyPath, based in Melbourne, Australia, was the selected supplier. The published award data does not give a separate award date or a detailed scoring basis; the stated route was a direct award without competition.

This award shows that the University of East Anglia uses overseas education representatives and pays agency commission for recruiting state-sponsored students from India. A competitor would need credible access to that student market and the ability to recruit applicants whose studies are state sponsored, while connecting them with a UK university. Experience in international student recruitment, education agency representation and student-facing marketing would be relevant to demonstrating that capability. The requirement was focused on a defined national market and student group, rather than general recruitment across all countries or student categories. StudyPath, an established company based in Melbourne, was selected through a direct award without competition, so evidence of local market reach and a workable agency relationship with UEA Global would be important when demonstrating suitability for a similar requirement.
