Summary of the contracting process

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is currently engaged in an early market engagement exercise for a procurement titled "EARLY MARKET ENGAGEMENT - Print Design - PU-18/0268". This initiative, which falls under the services category of printed materials, aims to solicit support from suppliers for design changes to print materials associated with the National Survey of Wales. The tender period will close on 4th January 2018, with the contract set to commence on 26th January 2018 and conclude on 31st January 2019. The procurement method employed is the open procedure, indicating it is above threshold for bidding. The primary location for this opportunity is Gwent, UK, with the ONS emphasising the time-critical nature of the monthly survey changes.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for design companies, particularly those with experience in bilingual document preparation, as changes will need to be implemented in both English and Welsh. Businesses that specialise in print design and are equipped to meet the rapid turnaround times required for the monthly survey cycle would be well-suited to compete. Engaging with the ONS via their e-tendering portal may lead to further opportunities for growth within public sector contracts, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).

Notice Title

EARLY MARKET ENGAGEMENT - Print Design - PU-18/0268

Notice Description

The Office for National Statistics is running an EARLY MARKET ENGAGEMENT EXERCISE to engage with suppliers for support with design changes to print materials. The ONS will shortly be running a tender exercise for support with design changes as illustrated below. Overview The National Survey of Wales which is undertaken by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) requires support with design changes of existing materials which are sent out with the survey questionnaire. The design changes are to be completed by an external supplier, which then submit back to ONS to review and printed internally. This service was previously undertaken within ONS through the internal design department, but they no longer have the capacity to undertake this work, so this service will now be taken externally. Requirement The National Survey for Wales leaflet and letter has undergone a pilot which has been designed and implemented, however the main stage material will require a number of small changes in the coming months. The National Survey for Wales requires a design company that can implement changes written in English and Welsh to existing documents and then send them back in printer PDF formats to allow internal companies to print. All changes will be clearly drafted in ONS including the Welsh translation. As this is a monthly survey this will be time critical, to allow new materials to be issued the following month. Currently the materials used are A4, which are printed double sided, with one side in English and the other with the Welsh Translation. If you are interested in this opportunity or have an recommendations then please register through the ONS e-tendering portal, In-Tend.
