Notice Title
Lancaster University External Print Framework - AWARD
Notice Description
Lancaster University is out to tender for an External Print Framework. This will predominantly be used by the internal Print Room (Creative Studio) to support the Team when they either don't have the capability or capacity to deliver a particular print job. It is the expectation that bidders will deliver in-house printing and finishing services, however, it is acceptable to outsource specialist finishing services. The Framework will have an initial term of 3 years with an extension of up to 2 years. Spend in this area is c. PS200k per annum, however, this is not a guaranteed level of spend and is split across the three lots.
