Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Nottingham has completed a public procurement process to secure contracts for Graduation Gowning and Photography Services, valued at £1.2 million each. This tender, initiated on 14th June 2021, falls under the goods category, specifically classified as special clothing and accessories (CPV code: 18400000). The procurement method used was an open procedure, with the award of contracts assigned to Ede & Ravenscroft Limited for gowning services and H Tempest Ltd for photography, both of whom have met the university's quality criteria of 85%. The contracts are now active, supporting graduation ceremonies held at the university's Park Campus and associated venues in Nottingham (region UKF14).

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in clothing and photography services, particularly those that specialise in specialised garments and event photography. With an annual graduation rate of approximately 9,000 students, suppliers capable of delivering high-quality, reliable services in a competitive environment will find this to be a promising avenue for expansion. Both established firms and SMEs with experience in educational or event-related contracts would be well-suited to explore similar opportunities in the future.
