## Summary

Cardiff University, a body governed by public law based in Cardiff, seeks to establish a Digital Advertising Framework through an open procurement process. This initiative falls under the education industry category and aims to secure digital advertising and media buying services. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract awarded on 30th June 2025 to a supplier named Hybrid, located in Bristol. The framework serves projects involving digital, PPC, and social advertising across the UK, particularly focusing on a 'single source' framework agreement. Initially tendered with a value of £1.2 million, the process moved from an active tender stage which concluded a tender period ending on 12th March 2025, to a completed contract now effectively active.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in digital marketing, campaign management, creative design, and media buying. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), like Hybrid, are well-suited to compete for such contracts, particularly those capable of offering innovative strategies across digital platforms. The project not only offers an opportunity to strengthen collaboration with a reputable educational institution but also presents a platform for businesses to expand their portfolio by engaging in diverse advertising projects with a significant financial scope. Successful participation can lead to increased business visibility and expertise within the educational sector, enhancing business growth potential through service diversification and strategic partnerships.
