## Summary

Liverpool John Moores University has completed the procurement process for the renewal of their undergraduate and postgraduate profiles on the platforms WhatUni, Complete University Guide, and Postgraduatesearch. The contract, valued at £168,750, was awarded to IDP Connect. The procurement classified under the services category, specifically advertising and marketing services, was conducted through a direct procurement method stated as "Below threshold - without competition." The contract period spans from 29th April 2025 to 28th April 2028, with the university aiming to enhance their visibility among prospective students through these high-traffic sites. This procurement process fell under the responsibility of the public authority-sub-central government of the United Kingdom and was managed from the university's location in Liverpool.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses in the advertising and marketing services sector, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs). IDP Connect, an SME, was successful in securing this contract, illustrating the potential for similar enterprises to engage in future procurement activities with public authorities like Liverpool John Moores University. The visibility and interest generated through platforms with substantial page views can offer businesses substantial long-term revenue prospects and enhance their profiles within the higher education sector.
