Marquees and other temporary demountable structures (TDS) have been used for a variety of functions by our students, staff, catering staff and visitors over the last few years. Activities have ranged from hosting dinner parties of up to 300 people, Fresher’s Fairs, Open Days events, Graduation receptions and as student common room space. We also use them as additional space for registration or exhibition space.

The University wishes to appoint up to three suppliers to a framework agreement for a period of three years with the option to extend the agreement for a further 12 months. Marquees and other TDS may be required at any time throughout the year. Tenderers should be able to provide a fully managed service.

Tenderers will be expected to have the ability to adapt/modify requirements based on weather conditions, scale of event, guest profile etc, and to offer designs which reflect the University’s aspirations and offer good value for money.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 20 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “LUV01088 The provision of marquee hire (temporary demountable…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
