Printed matter and related products

Tender description

The printed matter identified as being in scope in the framework includes non-specialist print, i.e. print of a general nature such as book work and jobbing print. Indicative requirements are for books, brochures, catalogues, manuals, reports, flyers, leaflets, newsletters, invoices, continuation sheets, NCR pads books and sets, invoices, delivery dockets, direct mailers and fulfilment. The OGP commenced sourcing operations in 2014 and, together with four key sectors (Health, Local Government, Education and Defence), has responsibility for sourcing all common goods and services on behalf of the public service. The OGP and its sector partners are putting in place framework agreements and contracts through which public sector bodies can buy goods and services. As the state buys a wide range of goods and services, the sourcing model is broken down into 16 categories of expenditure. The 8 categories of common goods and services are procured by the OGP. Four sectors – Health, Education, Local Government and Defence – retain sector sourcing functions to procure the remaining categories that they are the main users of, on behalf of the State. The Office of Government Procurement (OGP) is undertaking a process to review and refresh, if applicable, the current printed matter framework agreement which was established under RFT 115505 (Ted Ref: 2017/S 055-101355) in 2017. The current framework is due to expire on the 23 August 2021.
