This opportunity falls under the services industry, particularly in printing, and is currently in the tender stage. The tender was published on 13th May 2022, with the deadline for submissions set for 10th June 2022. The contract is expected to commence on 4th July 2022 and can last up to three years, contingent upon performance and council needs. The total contract value is £100,000, and it has been established using an open procurement method. This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in printing and distribution services. Eligible businesses will have the chance to secure a substantial contract with Braintree District Council, which not only allows them to showcase their capabilities in a large-scale printing project but also enables growth through potential extensions of the contract. Companies focusing on digital printing and mailing solutions would be particularly suited to apply, leveraging this contract to enhance their visibility and market presence in the local government procurement space. ## Notice BDC are looking for a contractor to provide a one-off service to print and mail out approximately 65,000 recycling calendars to residents of Braintree District Council at the beginning of September 2022. The contract will be for a maximum term of 3 years, with a 1-year initial term and the option for the Council to agree a further 1+1-year extension. If our internal needs change regarding printing recycling calendars for distribution, we reserve the right to cancel all or any parts of this contract. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5bcc71e2-74e0-4d3c-8943-cb345b88efdf | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 May 2022 | | Submission deadline | 10 Jun 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 3 Jul 2022 - 3 Jul 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BRAINTREE DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Locality | BRAINTREE | | Post town | Chelmsford | | Postcode | CM7 9HB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH3 Essex | | ITL 3 | TLH34 Essex Haven Gateway | | Local authority | Braintree | | Electoral ward | Bocking South | | Westminster constituency | Braintree | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 79800000 - Printing and related services - 79810000 - Printing services - 79811000 - Digital printing services - 79820000 - Services related to printing - 79823000 - Printing and delivery services - 79824000 - Printing and distribution services ## Release History - 13 May 2022 at 14:40 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5bcc71e2-74e0-4d3c-8943-cb345b88efdf ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5bcc71e2-74e0-4d3c-8943-cb345b88efdf 13th May 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Braintree:-BDC-Recycling-Calendar-Printing-and-Mailing/FNJ22P9C45 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
