Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

NCG, a further and higher education college group in the North East of England, wants to set up a framework agreement, which is a pre-approved list of suppliers it can call on without running a fresh tender each time. The estimated value is £29 million, and the work covers marketing and advice to attract more domestic students and grow its higher education courses.

What the buyer wants

• Develop and run domestic student recruitment campaigns with NCG, working collaboratively with its team • Strengthen NCG's market presence, raise brand awareness, and generate high quality student enquiries and applications in priority markets • Provide associated professional advisory services to support sustainable growth of NCG's higher education provision

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice does not state any minimum turnover, past experience, certifications or other entry requirements, but the £29 million estimated value and multi-supplier framework scale suggest that established agencies with significant capacity are more likely to be competitive than small businesses.

Always check the tender documents.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
