What is being bought

The University's procurement of promotional items is split into two distinct categories, serving different needs and audiences. First, there are high-volume, frequently purchased products. These items, which can be branded or unbranded, are essential for daily use and events. They are given away at events or used by staff and students. Historic examples include pens, wristbands, bags, confectionery, reusable mugs, water bottles, notebooks, lanyards, and branded apparel like hoodies and polo shirts. Second, the University sources premium and luxury products. These are higher-quality items, often sold to alumni through the University's online shop or given as gifts by members of the Vice Chancellor Group (VCG). Past examples include ties, cufflinks, pen sets, business card holders, and china cups. Please note that these examples are not exhaustive. The University expects suppliers to provide a wide range of new and popular items throughout the contract's duration. The University is issuing a direct award transparency notice because of the significant time and cost involved in setting up an e-store for staff and students. This new platform, which has only recently been completed, will now be trialed across the university.
