Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Temporary, Event and Building Signage - 2024" contract was carried out by the University of Hertfordshire, located in Hertfordshire, United Kingdom, within the East of England region. This contract, classified under the industry category "Signs and related items" (CPV code: 44423400), has completed the awarding stage. The open procurement procedure resulted in Herts Signs and Graphics Ltd being awarded the contract, with the contract period spanning from 1st December 2024 to 30th November 2029. The contract was valued at £750,000 GBP, offering a substantial opportunity within the open market.

This tender offers significant growth potential for businesses specialising in signage, particularly those capable of supplying temporary, event, and building signage solutions. Although the contract has been awarded, it reflects the demand within the industry segment, and similar businesses with a focus on quality and reliability could position themselves to compete in future tenders. The contract, by not being specifically tailored to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), suggests that larger organisations with the required experience and resources would have been best suited to compete successfully in this process.
