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 vehicle or space fully set up for the university’s Recruitment team to deliver interactive student engagement activities. It must carry the correct Teesside University graphics, with the design details supplied by the university, and be delivered to the required site by the supplier. The solution will not remain at a permanent location and must be readily transportable between destinations around the UK. This is a services requirement covering exhibition stands and exhibition equipment, with delivery activity identified in the North East of England.

The procurement has reached tender: Teesside University invited offers through an open procedure. The buyer set a tender submission deadline of 24 September 2026 at 5.00pm. The contract is scheduled to run from 12 October 2026 to 11 October 2028. Its estimated value is between £25,000 and £50,000, excluding any interpretation of the figures beyond the published range. The requirement is a single procurement rather than a stated multi-lot opportunity. Selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. The published classification identifies exhibition stands and exhibition equipment as the subject of the service.

This opportunity suits suppliers able to design, provide or operate a mobile exhibition stand or other transportable event space for university recruitment activity. Relevant capability includes supplying a vehicle-based or easily relocatable event environment, completing its fit-out before use, applying client-supplied university graphics accurately and delivering the finished solution to changing sites. Suppliers should be able to support activity across destinations around the UK rather than at one permanent venue, with the operational capacity to transport and set up the space as required. The authority considers the requirement suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so established specialists and appropriately capable smaller providers may compete.
