Summary of the contracting process

Anglia Ruskin University Higher Education Corporation has initiated a tender for the provision of Graduation Academic Dress under the reference T21/19. The procurement is categorised under goods, specifically listed as "Clothing, footwear, luggage articles and accessories", and is located in Chelmsford, UK. Although the tender is currently in the planning stage, it has recently been cancelled. The tender period previously allowed submissions until 12 noon on 21 January 2022, covering multiple graduation ceremonies scheduled for July and November across three locations: Cambridge, Chelmsford, and Peterborough.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in the hire and supply of academic gowns and related accessories, particularly those equipped to manage high-volume events. Suppliers capable of providing a professional service, including pre-sales information, booking management, gowning at ceremonies, and after-sales customer care, will find this procurement relevant. Additionally, businesses that design and manufacture academic regalia may also benefit, as there could be requirements for new gown designs for students graduating from newly established courses at ARU.
