What is being bought

Published requirement description

This Framework is for the Provision of Printing and Mailing Services on behalf of the Council's internal Design & Print Services and Mailing Teams. Due to internal capacity, the Printing and Mailing capabilities of both the Council's Design & Print and Mailing Teams are limited and therefore, the Council intend to establish a Framework of a maximum of four (4) Suppliers to fulfil this requirement.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 70 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 7 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Framework for the Provision of Printing & Mailing Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
