Printed matter and related products

Tender description

This tender is being conducted on behalf of the University's internal print unit, known as Design and Print Solutions (DPS). DPS is the University’s in-house printer and produces a variety of printed material for academic and support departments. It has good digital print capability but needs support from external printers when jobs need to be litho printed, require specialist finishing techniques or when they are already running at capacity for digital jobs. The purpose of this tender is to appoint three external print companies to a framework agreement. They will be required to produce and deliver a range of printed materials and associated services. The three suppliers appointed to the framework will have equal status and will be required to compete for each print job that DPS wishes to outsource. For full information, please see tender documentation. See II.1.4 above. Please note that the estimated value of the framework is based on a 4 year period.
