The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames is seeking tenders for its "Print & Design Framework," aimed at procuring design and print services to enhance communication efforts. This procurement falls under the services category within the printed books, brochures, and leaflets industry, and the authority intends to establish a framework split into three Lots: Digital Design, Design for Print, and Print Services.
