What is being bought

Published requirement description

We require the development of a bespoke public affairs and investment strategy for the University of Exeter, based on the institution’s core strengths, that will:

  1. Attract inward investment for the University from the UK Government, public bodies, business and other private investors to deliver and scale its programmes and innovations, gain competitive advantage, and maximise its impact.
  2. Influence national policymaking to support delivery of the University’s priorities, and to use the University’s successes as a model for national reform.
  3. Build awareness of our strengths in a way that leads to new partnerships, within specific sectors and government departments so that we build a reputation for unique contributions to tackling systemic national/global challenges across the environment, health and social justice.
