Summary of the contracting process

Torbay Council has conducted a procurement process for "External Printing Services 2025," focusing on securing experienced service providers for various printing needs, including mono and colour materials, such as posters, booklets, and signage. The process followed an open procurement method, ensuring broad competitive participation. The framework is classified under the CPV category of "Printing and related services" and covers the South West region of the United Kingdom. The tendering phase concluded on 20th March 2025, with the contract period commencing on 21st April 2025 and extending until 20th April 2029. The procurement value was estimated between £400,000 and £500,000, with awards observed at £850,000.

This framework offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in printing services.

By securing a place in this framework, businesses can enhance their market presence and drive growth by contributing to various council projects. Suppliers like Banner, Brightsea Press, and several others have been awarded to cover diverse printing needs, ranging from digital prints to specific items like envelopes and electoral printing. This diversity in requirements presents an excellent opportunity for businesses with specialised capabilities to expand their portfolios and establish long-term relationships with a significant public body.
