TD1105 - Plain, Printed, and Printed Postage Impression (PPI) Envelopes

Tender description

The scope of this contract will cover Plain, Printed, and Printed Postage Impression (PPI) Envelopes. The Council has a requirement for various types of envelopes to meet different business operational needs. The vast majority of these are for large order volumes for the in-house Document Management Centre (DMC). The DMC section manages the supply and orders the different varieties. Storage is limited, so potential suppliers will need to store stock which can be called off. The DMC carries out printing which includes some requirements for direct mailing. Their enveloping equipment uses the C5 oversized envelopes to process job requirements. Currently, wherever possible, orders are raised to maximise volumes to benefit from economies of scale and raised on a call-off basis and these orders are raised with consideration to storage and usage requirements. The current approximate spend on envelopes is £82,000 per annum, but due to the variables involved, the Council are unable to guarantee the consistency of this annual value of spend. The initial contract period is two (2) years. There will be options to extend the contract for up to two (2) years in annual increments, subject to satisfactory performance and business needs. The maximum contract period is therefore four (4) years. Keywords: Plain, Printed, PPI, Envelopes
