19-14 External Relations Management Services

The University of Wolverhampton sought to establish a framework of suppliers for the provision of External Relations Management services. The requirement was split into three (3) lots. Bidders could apply for more than one Lot. Lot 1 - Media Buying and Creative - awarded to a single supplier. Lot 2 - Video Production Services - a framework of four (4) suppliers. Each call off Contract will be awarded via mini-competition. Lot 3 - Promotional Products - awarded to a single Supplier. However where the first-placed Supplier does not have the capacity to fulfil the works required in the timescales requested, the University will appoint the second ranked Supplier to fulfil such particular Work Orders. Call-off for the services required under Lot 2 will be conducted by further competition. The criteria for the award of each call off Contract will be based on specifics for each project e.g. cost, programme, capacity, turnaround time for completion etc. This Framework Agreement is available for use by other Public Bodies in Wolverhampton and Partner Authorities in the West Midlands Combined Authority, including but not limited to, City of Wolverhampton Council and Royal Wolverhampton Hospital Trust. This Framework agreement will be let for a period of three (3) years (with an option to extend for up to a further 1 year (subject to satisfactory performance and agreement by both parties).
