This procurement process, classified under marketing and higher education services, is in the tender stage. The tender was published on 29 April 2026 with key deadlines including document access by 11 May 2026, clarification questions by 26 May 2026, and tender submission by 1 June 2026. This competitive flexible procedure is open, with tenders to be submitted through the designated electronic portal. The projected contract value is £220,000 GBP, covering a period starting on 1 August 2026 and potentially extending to 31 July 2030 subject to renewal conditions. The tender represents an excellent opportunity for companies specialising in marketing services or those with expertise in higher education support to expand their operations into West Africa. Businesses capable of providing comprehensive back-office support for representative services and the ability to navigate language barriers during the multi-stage procurement process will be well-suited for this bid. The contract favours quality over cost, prioritising effective marketing strategies over purely financial considerations, thus incentivising those who deliver high-quality services. This opportunity is ideal for agile marketing firms seeking international expansion or education-focused businesses looking to strengthen their geographic presence. ## Notice The University of Worcester (UW) is seeking to appoint a Representative to provide services for UW in West Africa including the engagement of an Individual or Individuals to carry out representative activities to deliver marketing and promotional services. UW is looking for a Representative who can provide the back-office support for the services to be delivered. At this stage we are not looking for a more formal presence such as a branded office or to employ anyone directly in the Territories. Please note that a small amendment has been made to the tender process. We understand that the multi stage process under PA23, combined with language barriers, may have prevented some potential suppliers from engaging with the process. The timeline originally set out will continue to be followed. Suppliers who have already completed the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) will not be required to complete it again. However, any supplier wishing to submit a tender will be required to complete a PSQ. For reasons of fairness and transparency, all PSQ submissions will be reviewed following receipt of tenders.
