The request was partially successful.

Daniel Blackburn

Dear Aberystwyth University,

I am writing to you to ask what the cost of the market research services implemented by external agencies has been to Aberystwyth University in the year 2016/17 (or most recently available years).

If you could also provide details on the tendering process for these external agencies' selection by the university, and whether having the market research done 'in house' by an appropriate department within the university, I would be most grateful.

Diolch yn fawr

Yours faithfully,

DB
