Description

The University is seeking tenders for the supply and delivery of general marketing collateral and communications services. These services will support the delivery of the project by recruiting and engaging SMEs and potential research students. PLEASE NOTE: The contract is for an initial period until 31st August 2018 with the option to extend for 2 x 1 year periods in respect of Project No: 03R17P01835. While the University seeks to appoint one supplier for this contract to cover all elements of this contract, if during the contract the appointed provider cannot fulfil requirements, the University reserves the right to source those items from an alternative supplier.

The start date is anticipated to be in June 2018.

The total budgeted value for this tender, (should all extension options be taken) is up to £30,000 including VAT. The actual demand and volumes may vary from the budgeted value given in this tender document, as over the period of the contract term, additional requirements may be identified, or reduced, as demand may increase or alter. No guarantee can therefore be given regarding the volume, nor value, of business placed. Quantities or volumes specified within this tender document are therefore indicative only. One order may therefore be placed for the total requirements, or as separate, individual orders.

Dates and values are estimated and therefore subject to change.
