Summary of the contracting process

Sunderland City Council is seeking to establish a Print Services Framework with a procurement process currently at the tender stage. This framework, under the main procurement category of services, covers printing and related services (CPV code 79800000) and is divided into two lots: Display, Signage and Large Format Print (Lot 1), and Small Format Print (Lot 2). The contract period for each lot is 1440 days. The submission deadline for tenders is 27 March 2025, with the tender period ending at 12:00 PM and the bid opening at 1:00 PM on the same day. The procurement method being used is an open procedure, and the framework aims to appoint a single supplier for each lot.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in printing and related services, particularly those experienced in large format and small format printing tasks. Companies positioned in the UKC23 region, including local businesses, are well-suited to compete, given their proximity to the project location. The framework's division into lots allows suppliers to focus on their specific strengths, potentially securing one or both lots. Businesses adept at providing diverse print services, from signage to business stationary, will find this an excellent opportunity to secure long-term projects with Sunderland City Council.
