Description

Manchester Central is currently looking for a company to provide print services for event signage and high-impact venue branding opportunities to raise event and sponsor profiles. Signage and branding opportunities are required across various event types including conferences, exhibitions and banquets.
The successful supplier will be expected to provide and install a wide range of effective print services for Manchester Central and its clients. Manchester Central gives clients the opportunity to brand key areas of the complex - including feature sites like our iconic station clock;, foyers, reception desks, pillars, banners windows and even snap frames in washroom cubicles.
The successful supplier will be expected to pay £10,000 in each year of the contract to cover the listings in the organiser handbook and on the website.
The successful supplier will also become a Manchester Central preferred supplier for such services and any client enquires, that are not dealt with by Manchester Central directly, will be pro-actively encouraged towards this preferred supplier.

As one of Manchester Central's preferred suppliers your company details will be featured in a new dedicated 'Preferred Supplier' Section within our Organiser Handbook and published on Manchester Central's website, which sees an average 30,000 unique views per month.

The estimated annual potential spend by clients is circa £140k.
If you are interested in pursuing this opportunity, please state the tender code in the email subject, and email procurement@manchestercentral.co.uk to request documentation concerning the opportunity.
The last date to request documentation for the tender will be 13th April 2022
