Summary of the contracting process

The Consumer Council NI is currently seeking services for brand management, design, and print management, with a total contract value of £1,000,000. This procurement process, which follows an open procedure, is now in the active stage, having undergone initial planning and tender phases. The key dates include a tender submission deadline of 18 November 2021 and an award period commencing shortly after, with options for contract renewal after an initial two-year duration. The services required fall under the industry category of printing and delivery services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in graphic design, digital production, and printing services. Firms that can deliver high-quality designs while maintaining cost effectiveness are particularly well-suited to compete, as the award criteria emphasise quality at 60% and cost at 40%. Additionally, businesses should consider that a track record of satisfactory performance is critical for future tenders, as failure to meet contract terms can lead to exclusion from subsequent procurement competitions. This contract offers a pathway for growth within the public sector for both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as larger firms in the creative and printing sectors.
