Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Teesside University is procuring an off-campus student engagement service centred on a vehicle or transportable event space. The supplier must provide the space fully set up so the university’s Recruitment team can deliver interactive student engagement activities. It must carry university graphics supplied by Teesside University and be delivered by the supplier to the required site. The space will not remain at a permanent location: it must be easily transportable between destinations around the UK. This is a services requirement covering exhibition equipment and exhibition stands, with delivery identified in the North East of England. It may suit businesses providing mobile event environments, promotional vehicles, exhibition stands or related event delivery services.

The procurement has reached tender: Teesside University invited offers through an open procedure. The buyer set the submission deadline at 27 August 2026 at 16:00. The contract period is 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. Its estimated value is between £25,000 and £50,000, in total. The requirement is presented as a single service opportunity rather than separate lots. The university states that selection will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. The tender is intended to cover the provision, preparation, delivery and transport of the engagement space for use by the Recruitment team at destinations around the UK.

This opportunity suits a supplier able to design, supply or operate a professional mobile event environment rather than a fixed exhibition venue. Strong candidates are likely to have practical capability in vehicle-based or modular event spaces, exhibition stands, branded environments, logistics and event set-up. The work requires the space to be transportable, delivered to changing destinations and presented with university graphics, so reliable handling, installation and removal arrangements are important. Suppliers should be able to work with branding supplied by the university and support a recruitment-focused, interactive visitor experience. Teesside University identifies the requirement as potentially suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it relevant to specialist event, exhibition and promotional businesses.
