## Summary

The University of the West of England procured consultancy and marketing services to promote its online international programmes. The work is classified as advertising and marketing services (CPV 79340000) and is delivered in the South West of England. The requirement combines consultancy with marketing activity, focused specifically on the university’s international programmes delivered online. The buyer is the University of the West of England, based in Bristol. This is a service contract rather than a purchase of goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Sarah Tate, identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The award date was 21 July 2026. The stated procurement value and awarded contract value are both £28,750. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The submission deadline was 21 July 2026 at 5pm. The procurement method is recorded as “Other - BVS”; no further procedural explanation is provided. The tender was not divided into lots. The published suitability assessment marked the requirement as suitable for SMEs and not suitable for voluntary, community or social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are set out in the available process details.

This award shows that the University of the West of England buys consultancy and marketing support for online international programmes, with the work centred on promoting those programmes. The selected supplier was identified as an SME, so a smaller consultancy or marketing business could be credible for a comparable requirement if it can demonstrate relevant capability. Competitors would need to combine strategic consultancy with practical marketing expertise suited to online education and international audiences. The scope is a focused, single-buyer service rather than a multi-lot programme, and the recorded procurement route was “Other - BVS”. Suppliers with evidence of effective online programme marketing and the capacity to support the university’s international recruitment objectives would be best aligned with this requirement when it next comes to market.
