Provision of Print Services and Signage

The University requires the appointed roster of Suppliers under Lot 1a to provide ad-hoc large format/signage design, build and installation. This shall incorporate the following services, but not limited to: banners, billboards and building signage, internal lettering and graphics, external directional and wayfinding signage, foamex temporary signs (aluminium signs; banners; nameplates for doors; directory signage; wayfinding; flush and projecting signs; external building signs; plaques; vehicle decals; health & safety/statutory signage). This lot focuses on bespoke and higher value signage and wide format orders, whereas Lot 1b focuses on repeat low value requirements, with faster lead times from order placement to installation on NTU campuses. Please see Schedule 4 for list of products list.

The University requires the appointed Supplier to undertaken the reactive signage services outside of core business operating hours, to avoid disruption causes on campus to staff and students. The bulk of the requirements under Lot 1b consist of low value repeat signage requirements, which we envisage most orders less than £1k. Please see Schedule 4 for list of products list. The appointed Supplier must operate flexible working hours, including early mornings (pre 8am) , evenings, and weekends, to accommodate our operational needs. This shall include experience of accessing secured areas out‐of‐hours and ensuring all work is completed discreetly and professionally with minimal disturbance to building users. The appointed Supplier shall be provided with campus access card(s) and tour of campus to familiarise yourself with the layout of the campus, but it shall be the responsibility of the Supplier to ensure staff are fully aware of building location. Supplier must be capable of working independently, without the need to contact NTU staff, should any clarification be required on a job, this must be done ahead of the installation day.

The Supplier shall be able to provide a full range of printed materials, including operational and marketing print, with the capability to handle varying volumes and a wide range of formats using digital and lithographic print methods. Please see Schedule 4 for list of products list.
