Lot 4 will oversee the provision of display products including custom made exhibition stands, pop-up displays, pull-up displays, outdoor displays, interior/exterior banners, backdrops, encapsulated images, point of Sale; podiums, vinyl graphics, vehicle graphics, billboard printing; and delivery/install/removal/disposal.

44 to tender, 22 to be picked.
Wow!
And then the 22 are probably expected to fight it out for each scrap of work!
'glassware/crystal' WTF? Aren't councils meant to be cutting back?
Have we entered an era of the 'Royal Rumble of Agencies'??
As entertaining as it was when i was a kid watching Hulk Hogan winning almost of them, surely a tender process with 44 agencies and then 22 on a roster doesnt represent any value for money, efficient use of time and resources!

Hang on a minute! They need 22 agencies AND they've got an in-house design team???!!!! WTF!!
Another procurement department justifying its own existence.
Are there any other industries where firms are asked to dance like performing monkeys at their own expense?
Imagine how busy you can look in the public sector marking and managing all these private sector tenders! Expect much more of this across the public sector as their employees use procurement methods, rather than budgets, to busy themselves...
