Summary of the contracting process

The University of Chester is currently engaged in the tender process for the production of their 2023 personalised undergraduate and postgraduate prospectuses. This contract, classified under the printing and related services category, has a total value of £100,000 and runs from 10 January 2022 to 31 March 2024, with the possibility of a 12-month extension.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the requirements may allow for various service offerings.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Production of the University of Chester 2023 Personalised Undergraduate and Postgraduate Prospectuses

Notice Description

This award notices follows the University inviting tenders for the implementation of two personalised prospectus request systems (over a 12-month period, with the option to extend this contract for a further 12 months if the University chooses to). One system will be for our Undergraduate prospectus and one system for our Postgraduate prospectus. These systems will allow a University of Chester Undergraduate prospect to order a personalised prospectus digitally (and in print if required), and a Postgraduate prospect the opportunity to order a digital version of their own personalised Postgraduate prospectus (no print option). As the Undergraduate prospectus will be available both digitally and in print, we will require print-on-demand and mailing costings also. The specification for the print-on-demand prospectus can be found in the tender documents. Tenderers are also advised that the specification provided may be subject to change. The appointed provider may therefore be required to supply requirements below, or in addition to, what has initially been specified within the tender documents to fulfil the project's need. Consequently, there is no guarantee of the volume, nor value, of business placed with the appointed supplier. Additional information: Please note that where your organisation may have previously registered with In-Tend, it would be necessary for you to ensure that your registration includes being registered to see opportunities for University of Chester. Registration to this site is free for suppliers. There is also Help/Guidance on how to use the supplier site on the 'Help' section of the site: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/universityofchester/aspx/Help
