## Summary

Arts University Bournemouth (AUB) recently completed a procurement process for Digital Advertising Agency Services aimed at enhancing brand visibility, driving student recruitment, and promoting its diverse range of courses. The procurement process, initiated as a tender, utilised a selective competitive flexible procedure, moving through stages including planning, tender, and finally, award. The services contract, valued at £1,800,000 with potential extensions, spans from January 2026 to January 2029, with finalisation of the agreement documented on 28th April 2026. This process categorised under 'services', is above threshold, and targeted nationwide within the UK regions, involving key dates like its contract signing on 3rd December 2025 and future renewals extending up to 2031.

This contract opens substantial opportunities for businesses in the digital advertising sector, particularly those with strengths in managing digital campaigns across PPC, paid social, display, and video platforms. Companies specialised in advertising management services, capable of offering data-driven performance insights and flexible fee structures, are well-suited to compete. Additionally, SMEs focused on creative digital strategies for higher education and with a proven track record in student recruitment would benefit greatly from participating in such tenders, aligning with AUB’s strategic objectives. The competitive nature of the process, which included a presentation and negotiation stage, ensures that only the most adept agencies are capable of meeting AUB's criteria and successfully contributing to its outreach goals.
