## Summary

The University of East Anglia procured third-party partnership services relating to TheStudentRoom.com and TheUniGuide.com. The work covers data analysis, advertising and marketing services for those platforms. The University is based in Norwich, and the recorded delivery country is the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The University awarded it to The Student Room Group Limited, an SME. The route was a direct award below the competition threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026 and runs from 17 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its gross value is £30,000. The procurement covered one lot. The recorded award concerns data analysis, advertising and marketing services; no award date is recorded.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible supplier would need to combine data analysis with advertising and marketing services relevant to TheStudentRoom.com and TheUniGuide.com. The award shows that the University of East Anglia has bought a focused third-party partnership spanning these capabilities, and that a small or medium-sized supplier has delivered the requirement. Suppliers with experience working across student-facing platforms and the ability to bring analysis and marketing together would be well placed to demonstrate fit. The route used for this procurement was a direct award without competition, so this outcome indicates the buyer’s purchasing approach for this specific requirement, rather than evidence of a competitive evaluation or particular scored criteria.
