This contract, classified under the printing and related services category, has a total value of £100,000 and runs from 10 January 2022 to 31 March 2024, with the possibility of a 12-month extension. The tender period closed on 21 December 2021. The project aims to implement two prospectus request systems allowing prospective students to order digital and print versions of the undergraduate prospectus and a digital version for the postgraduate prospectus. Interested parties needed to register on the In-Tend portal to access tender documents and submit proposals. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the printing and digital media sectors, particularly for those offering print-on-demand services and innovative digital solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the requirements may allow for various service offerings. Given that the allocated budget is significant, businesses that can provide efficient and adaptable solutions to meet the evolving needs of the university will find themselves in a strong competitive position. ## Notice This award notices follows the University inviting tenders for the implementation of two personalised prospectus request systems (over a 12-month period, with the option to extend this contract for a further 12 months if the University chooses to). One system will be for our Undergraduate prospectus and one system for our Postgraduate prospectus. These systems will allow a University of Chester Undergraduate prospect to order a personalised prospectus digitally (and in print if required), and a Postgraduate prospect the opportunity to order a digital version of their own personalised Postgraduate prospectus (no print option). As the Undergraduate prospectus will be available both digitally and in print, we will require print-on-demand and mailing costings also. The specification for the print-on-demand prospectus can be found in the tender documents. Tenderers are also advised that the specification provided may be subject to change. The appointed provider may therefore be required to supply requirements below, or in addition to, what has initially been specified within the tender documents to fulfil the project's need. Consequently, there is no guarantee of the volume, nor value, of business placed with the appointed supplier.
