UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bangor University is seeking a supplier to design, produce and install flexible exhibition stands for its presence at UCAS and other higher education fairs. The stands will be used by the university’s UK Recruitment Team to promote Bangor’s study opportunities. The work combines exhibition stand design and build with event installation and related services. Delivery is across the United Kingdom, with stands installed on site at each higher education event. The requirement also covers making the stands suitable for repeated use over the contract, supporting the university’s recruitment activity at multiple events.

The university invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement is one lot, with an estimated value of £240,000 excluding VAT (£288,000 including VAT). The contract is scheduled to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2028, with two optional 12-month extensions, potentially extending to 31 December 2030. The buyer set 7 October 2026 at 17:00 as the enquiry deadline and 19 October 2026 at 14:00 as the bid submission deadline. The intended award date is by 23 November 2026. Offers are assessed on technical quality (60%), price (30%) and community benefit (10%). Economic and technical selection requirements are detailed in the invitation-to-tender documents.

This opportunity suits exhibition specialists able to deliver the full process from stand design and production through transport, installation and ongoing upkeep. Suppliers need to work reliably to event deadlines and be flexible when installing on site. The buyer anticipates possible additional exhibitions, larger or more complex stands, further design and production work, and storage or refurbishment, so bidders should be able to scale services to changing requirements over the contract. The stand designs must support the university’s recruitment and marketing activity and be practical for use across multiple higher education events. Small and medium-sized businesses are explicitly considered suitable. Competition will place greatest emphasis on technical quality, alongside price and community benefit.
