Recent years have seen rapid growth in student numbers via partnerships, the opening of a new Arts Campus in an iconic 1970s ex-Herman Miller furniture factory, and a steady rise up the league tables, including a top-20 business school and a ranking of 18 in the national University Green Planet sustainability table. b)Channeling its creative and professional origins, the University is developing an identity as a nationally leading University for innovation in teaching and learning, research and near-business activity. If the driving purpose is to apply creative solution finding to all aspects of its work, in short, applied creativity everywhere, including the least expected places. 31.4 TASK: a) This very original University requires an equally imaginative brand, created by its community rather than airlifted in and experienced by interaction rather than delivered by statement. Just as the University is establishing new shapes in its demand driven approach to teaching, learning and research application, it is seeking an agency that matches its approach, working with staff, students and external collaborators to create an experiential encapsulation of what it means to be a Bath Spa Creative Professional. b)Expect work with a cross section of staff across the entire BSU and partners, a range of external collaborators from public and private sectors, key representatives of the student union and the marketing and recruitment staff of the University in a staged process between April and July 2023) ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9349853b-2c1a-40b0-8412-f9ca5d93b4c6 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Apr 2023 | | Submission deadline | 14 Apr 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 22 Apr 2023 - 30 Jun 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BATH SPA UNIVERSITY | | Locality | BATH | | Post town | Bath | | Postcode | BA2 9BN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK52 Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire | | Local authority | Bath and North East Somerset | | Electoral ward | Saltford | | Westminster constituency | North East Somerset and Hanham | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 79340000 - Advertising and marketing services - 79342000 - Marketing services ## Release History - 5 Apr 2023 at 13:55 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9349853b-2c1a-40b0-8412-f9ca5d93b4c6 - 5 Apr 2023 at 11:55 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9349853b-2c1a-40b0-8412-f9ca5d93b4c6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9349853b-2c1a-40b0-8412-f9ca5d93b4c6 5th April 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Bath:-Low-Value-Tender/9K9BJF3966 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
