We also use them as additional space for registration or exhibition space. The University wishes to appoint up to three suppliers to a framework agreement for a period of three years with the option to extend the agreement for a further 12 months. Marquees and other TDS may be required at any time throughout the year. Tenderers should be able to provide a fully managed service.
