## Description
The in-house Design & Print service requires a support framework to assist with production of different elements of print work that is not financially viable or is not compatible with our in-house printing equipment or service provision.
Only work that cannot be cost effectively produced internally would be placed via this framework.
The work placed via this framework can be business critical or could be a key form of information and engagement with residents that in turn supports the overall success of a Council objective for either Stockton-on-Tees & Darlington Borough Council's.
