Summary of the contracting process

The University of Plymouth is currently in the planning stage for the "University of Plymouth Graduation Marquee" procurement process. This initiative aims to secure prefabricated buildings and related site preparation work for the upcoming graduation ceremonies, expected to accommodate approximately 23,000 students and guests over six days. The engagement end date for suppliers to express interest and submit appraisals is set for 20th June 2022, with the ceremonies taking place on Plymouth Hoe, located in England's South West region.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the construction and events management sectors. Businesses that specialise in providing temporary structures, such as marquees, and those involved in site preparation services would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging with this procurement process could facilitate significant growth, allowing firms to showcase their offerings during high-profile events that aim to create memorable experiences for graduands and their families.

Notice Information

Notice Title

University of Plymouth Graduation Marquee

Notice Description

University graduations are prestige events and the culmination of many years' study for the graduands. Since 2008 Plymouth University has held its graduations in large marquees on Plymouth Hoe. Graduating students are encouraged to invite family and friends to share this important day with them. The presentation of students for the conferment of awards is a formal event; however the overriding aim of the ceremonies is for those graduating, and their families, to have a memorable day which will leave them with a final, positive impression of the City and the University. In addition to attendance at the ceremony, students and guests are invited to attend a post-ceremony reception where they can mingle informally with staff from the School from which they have graduated. Plymouth University holds its graduations in 2 large marquees on Plymouth Hoe. The marquees for 2019 were of the following dimensions: 1. Graduation Hall, Graduation Lounge, Reception, robing and photography (25m x 130m) 2. Post Ceremony Reception (25m x 25m) Over the course of 6 days the University anticipates hosting in the region of 23,000 students and guests. The University of Plymouth are looking to complete an appraisal for the marquee market ahead of our 2023 graduations. So we are looking for interested suppliers that can provide an assessment of costs for 2023 as per our detailed specification within the attached documents. If you are interested, please complete your appraisal on the attached excel spec document and send through to procurement@plymouth.ac.uk by Monday 20th June 2022.
