Description

Each year all the winners of the Queen's Awards for Enterprise are presented with a trophy. In recent times this has been a lead crystal glass bowl, engraved with the Queen's Awards Emblem and Award title and winning year.
The Queen's Awards Office is responsible for ordering the quantity of trophies required each year and instructing the supplier on the delivery addresses. The current contact has ended and therefore the Queen's Awards Office has a requirement for the provision of trophies for Award Winners in 2017, and the following 2 years.
The supplier will be responsible for the design, manufacture, quality control and delivery of the Awards.
Once the Winners are announced on 21 April each year, the Queen's Award Office will provide the delivery addresses for the trophies. The supplier will send the trophies in presentation boxes to the relevant Lord-Lieutenant office in each county, except Greater London where the trophies are sent directly to the winning companies.

CLOSING TIME FOR BIDS IS 09/01/2016 14:00 HOURS.
