About

Keele University awarded a contract to Education Cubed Ltd for the provision of digital advertising services in accordance with the Tender Specification in the ITT.

The contract required a single service provider to co-ordinate the delivery of all required services, which was the stated reason the contract was not divided into lots.

The estimated total value of the contract over its duration, including extension options if exercised, was £1.6 million excluding VAT.

Award criteria and weightings were Strategic Digital Advertising (400 marks), Clearing Media Plan (300 marks) and Price (300 marks).
