Summary of the contracting process

The University of Bedfordshire has conducted a procurement for the "Prospectus 2023 Printing Tender" aimed at sourcing a supplier for printing its various publications, including the Undergraduate and Postgraduate prospectuses for 2023. This tender falls under the services category within the printing and related services industry. The procurement was initiated with a direct method, specifically a single tender action below the threshold. The tender period concluded on 20 August 2021, and the contract, awarded on 2 December 2021, will commence from 3 December 2021 until 2 December 2023, with the delivery location based in Luton, England.

This tender represents an appealing opportunity for businesses in the printing sector, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in publishing services. With the requirement for suppliers to be able to participate in contract management meetings and undergo operational audits, businesses that can demonstrate strong quality control and flexibility are particularly well-suited to compete. Successful suppliers will engage in a significant contractual relationship with a reputable university, potentially leading to further collaboration in future projects.
