What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Royal Borough of Greenwich (RBG) is seeking a qualified service provider to deliver printing and distribution services for ad-hoc communications. The objective of this contract is to appoint a supplier to fully manage the Council's end-to-end print and distribution requirements. RBG has a requirement to communicate to all its residents. Due to accessibility not all residents are able to access communications online or via smart phones/tablets. One of the most effective ways to communicate to residents is through printed materials, such as letters or leaflets, which can be delivered door to door
- The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 1 Sept 2028, 23:59 BST.
