## Summary

The Improvement and Development Agency for Local Government (IDeA) has completed the procurement process for the provision of branded merchandise for LGA Graduate Programmes. This contract is situated within the services sector and encompasses printing and related services. The procurement has been awarded under the 'below threshold - unknown' method, with completion status confirmed as of 6th March 2026. The project aims to acquire branded goods on an ad hoc basis to promote various schemes to university students and recent graduates. Totalling a gross amount of £100,000, the contract period starts on 18th March 2026 and could potentially extend for another year, contingent upon funding continuity from MHCLG.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in branded and promotional merchandise, particularly those with capabilities in printing and related services. Small and medium-sized enterprises like Totally Branded and Sovereign Insignia Ltd, having successfully secured portions of the contract, exemplify the type of businesses that can benefit from such government procurement processes. With the flexibility for renewal and extension, continued participation in this tender can foster growth and close collaboration with public sector initiatives. Businesses that can offer agile and responsive supply chains will find this opportunity particularly attractive, given the variable demand expected over the 12-month period.

## Notice

We are looking to purchase branded goods for each scheme to promote themselves to audiences such as, but not exclusive to, current university students and recent graduates. Branded goods will be needed on an ad hoc basis at the LGA's request over the next 12 months. The maximum value of this piece of work could be spread amongst several different bidders.
