Published requirement description

The University of South Wales is inviting suppliers to tender for the provision of an innovative online digital prospectus solution. We are seeking a modern brochure management platform that can deliver a highly personalised, interactive, and fully accessible experience for prospective students. The solution should support the dynamic creation of tailored content based on user input, with the option to download or generate professionally formatted, print-ready versions. The platform must offer flexibility, ease of use, and have the potential to integrate securely with existing university systems, including our Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform. Please see the tender documentation for further information.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 20 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
