Description

Tenders are invited from interested parties for the provision of Digital Advertising Services at Keele University in accordance with the Tender Specification in Section 2 of the ITT. Main reasons for the decision not to sub-divide the contract into lots: Given the need for one Service Provider to co-ordinate the delivery of all of the services required, the contract has not been divided into lots. The contract will run for an initial period of twenty-seven months from 1st July 2025 to 30th September 2027 with options to extend for a further two twelve-month periods, reviewed annually, with a final end date of 30th September 2029. The estimated total value of the contract over its duration (including the extension options if these are taken up) is £1.6 million excluding VAT.
