This open tender, which falls under the CPV classification for printing services, is currently in the award stage after being officially published on 29th April 2019. The contract runs from 1st March 2019 to 28th February 2021, with an extension option for an additional two years.

Notice Title

Print Services

Notice Description

AHDB is looking to create a framework agreement with approx. 6 and 10 print suppliers who can produce a high standard product that is colour accurate, without deviation, to match the signed off press-calibrated colour proofs supplied. This will ensure that high-quality, colour-consistent literature is produced throughout the range of AHDB corporate publications and other printed matter. Additionally we are looking for suppliers who can build relationships with the Print department personnel at AHDB, which, in turn, will provide cost-effective solutions. The print framework must capture the print requirements of AHDB and its divisions in relation to digital and lithographic print production and point of sale material. The framework will cover a wide range of items from business cards, single colour letterheads or small A7 cards to high-quality technical publications, promotional literature and large format event display items. Please note we are not looking for print management companies as we have an internal Print team.
