Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council is initiating a procurement process for a Framework for the Provision of Printing & Mailing Services. This Framework, classified under Mailing services (CPV: 79571000) and Printing and related services (CPV: 79800000), aims to support the Council's internal Design & Print Services and Mailing Teams, which currently have limited capacity. The open procedure is above threshold, and the procurement stage is in the Tender phase, with a tender period ending on 30th August 2024. The total contract value is estimated at £400,000. The services will be delivered in England, with the contract running from 1st October 2024 to 30th September 2028.

This procurement process offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in mailing and printing services. The framework will encompass up to four suppliers, giving multiple businesses a chance to gain substantial, long-term contracts. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, making this an excellent opportunity for such organisations to expand their market reach and secure a steady revenue stream. Businesses geared towards providing high-quality, reliable printing and mailing services will be well-placed to compete for this contract.
