Published requirement description

The Isle of Wight Council (“the Authority”) invited Tenders from suitably qualified suppliers (“Potential Suppliers”) for the provision of an Approved Supplier List (ASL) for Printing Services and the Supply of Signage Services for the Isle of Wight Council.

This procurement followed the OPEN under the Public Contract Regulations 2015. The Open procedure is a one stage procurement process which covers both selection criteria and award criteria. An Open procedure means that any organisation can respond to the advertised Contract Notice, download the tender pack and submit a tender. All tenders must be evaluated in line with the methodology and criteria set out in the tender pack. This procurement is being called an Approved Supplier List but is being set up utilising the structure of a framework agreement in accordance with regulation 33 of the Public Contract Regulation. The ASL is a Framework Agreement. A framework agreement can be defined as “a general term for agreements with suppliers which set out the terms and conditions under which specific purchases can be made throughout the term of the agreement”.

The Services under this ASL will include:

  • Short-run, quick turnaround reprographic printing.
  • Lithographic printing.
  • Specialist printing (eg, stickers).
  • Large format printing.
  • Various forms of signage including, but not limited to, Corporate Building Signage, Parking, Rights of Way, Licensing and Recreation Leisure and Public Spaces.

This procurement will ensure the Authority obtains the best value for its printing and signage requirements.

This opportunity was divided into three lots with two sub lots. A “lot” is defined as a grouping of similar services that a single procurement process has been split into. Please see the details below.

LOT 1 – PROVISION OF REPROGRAPHIC PRINTING

LOT 2 – SUPPLY OF SIGNAGE SERVICES

LOT 3 – LITHOGRAPHIC, SPECIALIST, LARGE FORMAT, ADDITIONAL REPROGRAPHIC PRINTING SERVICES AND MISCELLANEOUS SIGNAGE SERVICES (NOT COVERED IN LOT 2)

Sub Lot 3a is for lithographic, specialist and additional reprographic and large format printing. Including but not limited to, bulk printing of leaflets, mailshots, flyers and posters. Specialist printing may encompass items such as stickers, folders, as well as jobs with unusual folds, non-standard cuts, spot laminates and pantone process printing. Large format covers posters, banners, temporary signage, display systems and banners, and vehicle graphics.

Sub Lot 3b is for miscellaneous signage requirements not covered in Lot 2.

The Potential Supplier can submit bids for Lot 1, Lot 2, Sub Lot 3a and/or Sub Lot 3b in any combination. Bids for only part of Lot 1 or Lot 2 will be rejected.

The term of the Approved Supplier List Agreement shall be 3 years with the option to extend for up to a further 12 months at the sole discretion of the Authority.

Potential Suppliers should note that this is a non-exclusive Approved Supplier List and that no guarantee can be given with regard to the volume or value of work under any of the lots.

What this means for your bid
