## Summary

Aston University in Birmingham has recently undertaken a procurement process for "Graduation Robes, Photography & Framing," to support its biannual graduation ceremonies held in Easter and July. The procurement is currently in the award stage, having been initiated through an open procedure with multiple opportunities for suppliers. The tender period is set to close on 14th March 2017, and the awarded contract, which will span from 1st May 2017 to 31st May 2020, covers various service categories including special clothing and accessories, photography services, and framing.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the services sector, particularly those that specialise in event management, photographic services, or garment suppliers. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations are encouraged to apply, as the university is open to individual suppliers for each lot or a single supplier for all three services. Companies that can demonstrate capabilities in high-quality service delivery and have experience in similar high-profile events will be well-positioned to compete successfully.

## Notice

Twice a year (Easter & July) the university celebrates the successes of the academic year with graduation, These are high profile congregations which are shared by the Academics, Students and their guests. The university currently hosts the main ceremony off campus at the Birmingham Town Hall offering a free shuttle service to and from the venue. Robing, photography and refreshments are on campus utilising its grounds and various areas around the main building. The scope of this procurement will form three separate tenders covering; * Robing * Photography * Certificate & Photography Framing * One Stop Shop (All three lots) We are looking to award to either a one stop shop or individual lots, suppliers can apply for one or as many lots and they can service.
