What is being bought

Published requirement description

Renewal of the LJMU undergraduate profiles on WhatUni and the Complete University Guide and the postgraduate profile on Postgraduatesearch.

LJMU needs to have a presence on these sites where the majority of UK universities have profiles to generate interest in their institutions and the courses offered. Prospective students will expect to see LJMU on the sites.

These sites achieve the following page views:

WhatUni - 209,822 page views over the last year.

Complete University Guide - 407,924 page views over the last year.

Postgraduate Search - 102,515 page views over the last year.

These platforms also appear in searches, providing LJMU with increased visibility.

The costs are annual but commitment is for a three year period - therefore these costs are detailed within this transparency notice
