Summary of the contracting process

De Montfort University, located in Leicester, UK, is undertaking a tender process for the "Provision of Graduation Dress Hire and Photography Services," classified under the photographic services industry. The tender was actively sought with the deadline for submissions set for 23rd August 2021, and the associated contract is expected to commence on 1st January 2022, running initially for three years until 31st December 2024, with potential extensions available. The process is an open procurement method, aiming to ensure maximum participation from interested suppliers.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in photographic services and academic dress hire, particularly those that can demonstrate high-quality service delivery. Given that the evaluation criteria prioritise quality at 70% and price at 30%, suppliers with a strong portfolio in event photography or formal attire rental, capable of managing the requirements of graduation ceremonies, would be well-positioned to compete. This tender is an excellent opportunity for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their market share in the education sector.
