MTU Merchandise

Please see below the process for MTU departments for ordering branded merchandise. 

 

Students should order official MTU merchandise from shops on campus or using the online store https://shop.mtu.ie

 

Please note that when departments are ordering from the companies below some items would have minimum quantity and especially for things like biros, it would be better to order a high quantity and have them in stock for future use rather than ordering in small batches for single events and the price per unit would be much cheaper.

 

Contracts will be awarded on the basis of either direct drawdown or mini-competition.  This will be determined by the value of each order required.
 
Direct Drawdown:
Where the value of the order will be less than €1,000 (ex VAT), the supplier will be chosen from the framework panel on the basis of its ability to fulfil the requirement based on all applicable factors at the time of the requirement. 
This may include, but not be limited to, proximity from delivery location, availability of required product(s), speed of delivery and price.  Quotes to confirm the price will be required before confirming any order. 

Mini-Competition:
Where the value of the order will be €1,000 or more (ex VAT), the University will run a mini competition among all the panel members. Mini competitions will be run by the relevant department(s) subject to their specific requirements.


If staff are running a mini-competition between all the panel members and lead time is a mandatory requirement.  Suppliers must confirm they can meet the deadline date provided by the staff member in order for their prices to be considered. 
The Award Criteria would then be 100% price, subject to the supplier meeting the mandatory lead time.


If your order has a value €1,000 or more (ex VAT), you will need to get a quote from all 6 companies and run a mini competition and complete the Branded Merchandise Quotations Form:

Please allow at least 5 working days for quotation closing dates.
