## Summary

The procurement process is initiated by Aston University, which is seeking to establish a formal contract with suppliers for the provision of marquees over a 3 to 5-year period. This tender, titled "301 Marquees," falls under the construction structures and materials industry category and is located in Birmingham, England. The procurement method is open, allowing all interested parties to participate, with a tender period that concludes on 7th March 2018. The total contract value is estimated at £150,000, starting from 1st May 2018 to 28th February 2021.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses operating in the marquee supply and event services sector. Companies that specialise in the hiring and installation of marquees, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. The established relationship with Aston University can facilitate long-term growth and exposure, especially for those who can offer flexible solutions for both planned and ad-hoc events on campus.

## Notice

Twice a year (March/ April & July) the University celebrates the successes of the academic year with graduation. These are high profile congregations, which are shared by the academics, staff, students and their guests. The university hosts graduates and their guests in receptions on campus, which are held in marquees on the University grounds. The academic Schools also have local prize giving at these receptions. In addition, there are other ad-hoc and planned occasions when marquees are used on campus. Most recently, marquees were hired for the University's 50th Anniversary celebrations in 2016, and they are also hired for the HE Fair which takes place at Aston every two years. We are now looking to put a formalised contract in place with suppliers of marquees for the next 3 - 5 years.
