## Summary

The University of Exeter is seeking a Public Engagement Organisation to design and deliver a series of digital and in-person events across Devon and Cornwall, with an award value of £40,000. This procurement process has been classified under public relations consultancy and event services. The tender period concluded on 6th May 2022, while the contract period commenced on 11th May 2022 and extends until 30th September 2023. The procurement approach followed an open procedure.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, especially for businesses experienced in public engagement, community media, and event management. Companies that can innovate in delivering educational events targeting diverse audiences, particularly in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) sectors, would be well-placed to compete. Strong connections with academic institutions and experience in working with researchers will further enhance competitiveness in this space.

## Notice

The University of Exeter require the services of a suitably qualified and experienced Public Engagement Organisation to design and deliver a series of digital and in-person events across Devon and Cornwall, on their behalf. The successful organisation will have proven experience of delivering public engagement events in person and online, which engage a wide range of audiences. They will have a background in research and the creative industries and be familiar with academia and the STEAM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics). They will have experience of working with researchers and creative practitioners, using a wide range of different activities and media to reach a range of audiences, and notably those who do not have easy access to, and thus are less inclined to engage in STEAM fields. Existing relationships with academics and institutes across the University of Exeter would be an advantage. Ideally, we are seeking an organisation experienced in some, or all of the following: community media and radio; social media platforms, participatory theatre; science and research fairs; public talks; conversation events; workshops; school resources; online games and quizzes.
