Advertising and Media Buying Framework

National Education Recruitment Advertising and Resourcing Services (NERARS)

Warwick have now implemented the NERARS Framework which is available until 7th March 2027 for departments to commission Advertising & Media Buying services.

This Framework Agreement is a public contract created by SUPC (Southern Universities Purchasing Consortium) of which we are a member. It is designed as a 'call off' contract, where rather than following the full tender process, this is a more dynamic way to commission these services from compliant, approved Marketing Agencies.

Here is the Buyers Guide on how to commission work.

Once you've agreed to the quotation with the supplier and your budget has been approved, the PO should be raised and sent to the supplier. We would encourage you to reference the services being carried out will be in accordance with the Standard Terms and Conditions of the NERARS Framework Agreement.
