Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Sussex, located in Brighton, has completed the award stage for the tender titled "US_25190 - Graduation Robing & Photography." This procurement process was initiated to secure robing and photography services for the University's winter and summer graduation ceremonies starting in January 2026. The tender falls under the industry category of "Clothing, footwear, luggage articles and accessories" and involves a variety of related business services. The procurement process, which was managed under unspecified procurement methods, culminated in an award to Ede & Ravenscroft Ltd on 13th October 2025. The contractual agreement extends from 13th October 2025 to 31st August 2027, providing ample time for service delivery.

This tender creates valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in clothing accessories and professional photographic services, particularly those experienced with large-scale events such as graduation ceremonies. While small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) might find this contract less suitable due to its specific requirements, larger organisations with robust resources and a proven track record in these services would benefit from engaging in similar tenders. The successful bidder will have the chance to enhance their portfolio and reputation by partnering with a reputable educational institution like the University of Sussex.
