In plain English
Cardiff University wants one supplier to run its stands at Welsh-language events such as the Urdd and National Eisteddfod, and possibly Tafwyl, over the life of the framework, worth about £124,000. The supplier would move, build, brand, furnish, light and equip the stands, store the university's equipment and branding between events, and help with set-up on site.
What the buyer wants
• Transport equipment from up to four Cardiff University sites to the event sites and back, about 3 to 4 days before each event starts, and design a weather-resistant stand with the university's events team. • Produce, install, remove and store external and internal branding using artwork the university supplies, and provide furniture, lighting, audio-visual equipment with a laptop and ongoing technical support during event week. • Store the stand, equipment and branding safely between events, provide a lockable storage area within the stand, submit booking forms, liaise with event organisers' on-site teams, provide fire extinguishers and act as a key contact for each event.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: Because this is a sole supplier framework covering transport, branding production and installation, furniture, lighting, audio-visual support, storage and on-site liaison across multiple events, a small business without the capacity to deliver all of these over the whole period would most likely be ruled out.
Always check the tender documents.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
