## Summary

Northumbria University at Newcastle procured marketing support as Lot 5 of an eight-lot Start Up Support Services programme. The requirement covers advice, guidance and practical support for students and graduates considering self-employment or business start-up, or seeking enterprising skills and an entrepreneurial mindset to improve employability. This lot focuses on marketing, including digital marketing, within a wider business development consultancy service. Delivery uses one-to-one mentoring, workshops, in-residency days at the University’s on-campus Incubator and bootcamp-style events. The work is a service delivered in Newcastle upon Tyne and the wider North East of England. It sits within business development, management consultancy and marketing-related services, with CPV 79411100 for business development consultancy services.

The procurement has been completed following an open procedure. Bids were due by 7 July 2026, and the contract was awarded on 4 August 2026 to Stand Up Marketing. The awarded value is £150,000 in total for the agreement covering all eight lots, rather than a separate value stated for Lot 5. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The requirement was structured into eight lots, with this opportunity covering marketing, including digital marketing. The contract is for services, and the published process records Northumbria University at Newcastle as the buyer. The award is active and the procurement status is complete. The source data does not state an award weighting or detailed evaluation criteria.

This award indicates demand for specialist marketing support within a university entrepreneurship and employability programme. A credible future supplier would need to provide practical marketing and digital marketing advice to students and graduates at different stages, from considering self-employment through to developing a business idea. Relevant delivery capability includes structured one-to-one mentoring, engaging workshops, on-campus support and intensive bootcamp-style events. Suppliers should be able to translate marketing concepts into accessible, practical guidance for emerging entrepreneurs, while working consistently across varied participant needs. Experience of business development consultancy, start-up support, enterprise education or employability services would be relevant. The awarded supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large consultancy.
