Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is led by East Ayrshire Council, which is seeking tenders for its "Corporate Print" project within the printing and related services industry. This project is currently in the planning stage, with an expected start date for the new framework set for June 2017. The tender addresses multiple lots for varied print services, including leaflets and external banners, and interested suppliers are invited to respond by 10 February 2017. The communication regarding the tender indicates a future notice date of 31 March 2017, offering potential suppliers a timeline for preparation.

This tender presents an excellent growth opportunity for businesses specialising in printing and related services. Companies that have experience in providing similar services to councils or large organisations may find this a suitable competitive advantage. Additionally, businesses with innovative practices that could enhance the framework are encouraged to express their interest. Given the Council's current spend of approximately GBP130-GBP160K per annum, there is significant potential for winning contracts, particularly for firms capable of providing tailored services that meet the needs of public sector clients.

    "description": "East Ayrshire Council has a current framework for outsourced printing services and propose to renew this framework with an expected start date of June 2017. The Council currently has an in-house design team and print facility and therefore any framework orders would only be that surplus to in-house capability. The Council's current spend is in the region of GBP130-GBP160K per annum. The Council intends to make changes to the framework to make it less cumbersome to both the Users and the Framework Suppliers and is interested in hearing from interested suppliers to help shape the new framework. The current framework has 13 separate lots with 44 framework suppliers and it is proposed to reduce both the number of lots and the number of framework suppliers. The proposed revised lots are as follows: a) Leaflets, posters, flyers, booklets, brochures b) Display & Exhibition Panels, external banners, pop-up displays, promotional graphics c) Binders, Inserts & Folder Packs d) Vehicle & Window Graphics Currently, Council departments are responsible for conducting their own mini-tenders for individual requirements. This is a system generated e-mail with a detailed specification and any orders are processed through the PECOS purchase-to-pay system. It is intended that this system will remain unchanged. Information that the Council is interested in is as follows: 1) What is your experience of providing a similar service to other Councils/ large organisations? 2) Is there any best practice that could be adopted by EAC? 3) If you are a current framework supplier: a) what works well with the current framework? b) what could be improved & how could this be done? Responses are required via e-mail to marion.shaw@east-ayrshire.gov.uk by no later than 10 February 2017 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the Public Contracts Scotland Web Site at http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=479078.
