Corporate Print Services Framework

The Council has a centralised Corporate Communications Team, whose primary objectives are to significantly enhance the quality, coherence, effectiveness and value for money of all Council communications activity, optimise public awareness of and access to Council services, and enhance the profile and image of the Council and the Borough. All print will be outsourced to external providers via this contract. High-quality, cost-effective, timely external provision of print services is required across the full spectrum of print media. The Council is therefore seeking to appoint a limited number of external print companies to provide high-quality print services. The duration of the Framework will be for a period of three years with an option of one, 12 month extension subject to review. This document sets out our current service requirement; however please note that changes may arise during the life of the contract, for example, regarding the nature and volume of work, or the timescale or other requirements.
