This tender, initiated on October 10, 2017, and expected to conclude by October 10, 2021, encompasses a total budget of £200,000 to provide various services across five distinct lots. The procurement process adopted was an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on June 8, 2017. The framework includes specific tasks such as branding, marketing collateral production, event organisation, photography, and videography services. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in marketing and event management, as Keele University seeks multiple providers for different service lots. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in branding, production of marketing materials, event planning, and multimedia services would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The scope allows for organisations and consortia to collaborate, increasing potential for small to medium-sized enterprises and larger companies to engage with university-level projects that could contribute to business growth and enhanced visibility in the public sector. ## Notice Tenders are invited from interested parties for inclusion in a Framework Agreement for Marketing and Events Support for Keele University's ERDF Funded Projects. These currently include the approved projects of the Smart Energy Network Demonstrator (SEND); the Keele Research & Innovation Support Programme (KRISP); the Mercia Centre for Innovation Leadership (MCIL); and Business Bridge; which collectively form part of the New Keele Deal. Additional projects subject to ERDF funding approval may also be included under this framework within the stated estimated framework value. The Framework Agreement is divided into five lots covering specific goods/services and the University envisage appointing up to three Service Providers in each lot although the University reserves the right to vary this number. Tenderers can bid for one or more lots. Whilst the Framework Agreement has a budget of PS200,000 no guarantee is given as to the levels of expenditure under the framework and within each lot.
