2223-33-FDR-LJ Signage · UK public procurement notice

Sheffield Hallam University have appointed 2 signage suppliers to support our needs in relation to ongoing signage maintenance and replacement, the design, manufacture and fitting of new signage, large scale external signage, small internal signs and temporary signage, site surveys and resulting recommendations and signage removal and disposal. Our specific needs were detailed within the Specification section of our Invitation to Tender document. All aspects of signage quality and the service provided were important to us. However, we were also looking to develop excellent and ever-improving collaborative relationships with the successful suppliers to support the dynamic needs of the University estate.

The design, manufacture, and provision of internal and external signage, had to be in line with the specific requirements of the University. These requirements can range from a 4m high external sign made from aluminium, mounted on the side of a multi-storey building, through to a very small, simple waymarking sign. Temporary signage is sometimes also required - this would usually be plastic or foamex. The quality of the signs, in line with our specific requirements and Sheffield Hallam University artwork is of utmost importance to us. We would never agree to accept or install signage that did not meet our quality standards. However, the service aspects of this contract are also of utmost importance. These include speed of service, flexibility to react to urgent jobs, the ability to carry out site surveys and one-off site visits and generally the establishment of an excellent close working relationship with the University.

We were also looking to obtain good value for money.
