This procurement falls under the printing and related services industry category and aims to appoint multiple suppliers to provide flexible printing services throughout the contract duration. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a submission deadline set for 18th January 2018. The contract period is projected to begin on 1st May 2018 and will run until 30th April 2022. The total contract value is estimated at £6 million, with minimum bid requirements of £4 million. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the printing sector, especially those that can adapt to varying demands and high-volume projects. Suppliers who excel in delivering swift service and maintaining high-quality standards will be well-suited to participate. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this particularly advantageous, as the procurement encourages their involvement, fostering competition among businesses capable of enhancing King's College London's documentation and promotional materials across its campuses in London. ## Notice King's College London is seeking to appoint a number of Suppliers for the Print Framework Agreement in accordance with EU Regulations. The selected Supplier(s) will need to have service flexibility and capacity to accommodate varying demands for service, high volume work and rush jobs at all times of the year. A clear commitment from the selected Suppliers is that they will be required to work with the university as a partner over the full contract period to ensure evolving requirements remain fully satisfied. Various Faculties and Professional Services departments across King's are responsible for the design and delivery of high quality documents in print, on the Internet, on the intranet and on the virtual campus to client departments across the university consistent with corporate standards. The institution does not, however, have its own print production facilities. King's currently produces print via the following methods: a) Self-produced on distributed copier/printers within the academic and administrative departments (please note that this section does not form part of the Framework Agreement). b) A diverse range of miscellaneous digital and Litho printed products which support both the university's administration (artwork often produced in-house by King's staff) and its promotional and reputational outputs. Artwork for the latter is produced off site by the King's Designers (also set up on Framework Agreements) and is procured by individuals in their departments and faculties across the university's five campuses as required. This includes marketing materials, core corporate publications, events collateral, magazines, leaflets, flyers, large format, promo items etc. Additional information: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/aboutkings/orgstructure/ps/procurement/suppliers/etender.aspx Delivery Notes Mostly London Funding Type (WEFO or EU) : College funding Funding Description From various College budgets Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : Yes ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6236bb17-3315-4dbb-b6db-8d4b346d3272 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Dec 2017 | | Submission deadline | 18 Jan 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2018 - 30 Apr 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £6,000,000 | | 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 | KING'S COLLEGE LONDON | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE1 8WA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI45 Lambeth | | Local authority | Lambeth | | Electoral ward | Waterloo & South Bank | | Westminster constituency | Vauxhall and Camberwell Green | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 22 - Printed matter and related products - 30 - Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages - 39 - Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 22000000 - Printed matter and related products - 22100000 - Printed books, brochures and leaflets - 22450000 - Security-type printed matter - 22458000 - Bespoke printed matter - 22900000 - Miscellaneous printed matter - 30199700 - Printed stationery except forms - 30199710 - Printed envelopes - 39294100 - Information and promotion products - 79800000 - Printing and related services - 79810000 - Printing services - 79811000 - Digital printing services - 79820000 - Services related to printing - 79821000 - Print finishing services - 79823000 - Printing and delivery services - 79824000 - Printing and distribution services ## Release History - 14 Dec 2017 at 14:34 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6236bb17-3315-4dbb-b6db-8d4b346d3272 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6236bb17-3315-4dbb-b6db-8d4b346d3272 14th December 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/kcl/aspx/ Additional information on how to apply for this contract ## Notice URLs - https://www.kcl.ac.uk/aboutkings/orgstructure/ps/procurement/suppliers/etender.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
