## Summary

The University of East Anglia commissioned a student-life marketing partnership with The Student Room Group. The work comprises 28 articles about UEA, hosted on The Uni Guide, alongside regional partnership activity and marketing placement. This is an advertising and marketing services requirement intended to promote the university through student-focused editorial content and related activity. The work is associated with Norwich, where the university is based.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to The Student Room Group Limited. UEA used a direct award below the applicable 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 £80,000. The procurement was arranged as one lot. The published information does not set out an evaluation basis or supplier eligibility conditions.

For suppliers considering comparable work for the University of East Anglia, this award demonstrates demand for student-focused content marketing: a defined package of university-related articles hosted on a student information platform, combined with regional partnership activity and marketing placement. A credible competitor would need to show access to relevant student audiences and suitable publishing channels, as well as the editorial capability to produce multiple articles about university life and deliver coordinated promotional activity. The selected supplier is a specialist student platform group, indicating the value of a close fit between the audience, channel and subject matter. The requirement was placed by direct award rather than through a competitive process, so this outcome does not establish a tested scoring model or formal qualification threshold.
