## Summary

Cambridge City Council's Housing Service is initiating an open procedure for a printing services contract concerning their "Open Door" magazine. This prior information notice (PIN) seeks a supplier to print the magazine, which comprises 16 colour A4 pages per edition, printed thrice yearly and distributed to approximately 7,500 tenants and leaseholders within the Cambridge area. The estimated contract value is £15,000, and the service falls under the CPV category of Printing and related services. Interested parties should note that the tender period closes on 30th August 2024, with the contract expected to commence on 30th September 2024 and conclude on 29th September 2027. This tender is particularly suited to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the printing industry to secure a multi-year contract, thereby enhancing their portfolio and business growth. Printers with experience in large volume runs and those capable of coordinating logistics with a separate supplier for packaging and posting the magazines will be well-suited for this project. Companies that focus on providing comprehensive printing services, especially SMEs, will find this tender appealing due to its streamlined procurement method and manageable contract value.

## Notice

The Resident Involvement team within Cambridge City Council's Housing Service are seeking a supplier to print a magazine for our residents. Our 'Open Door' magazine is printed three times a year and is sent to all our Cambridge City Council tenants and leaseholders, it contains the latest news and information from the Housing Service and publicises community events and opportunities to get involved. Each edition is sent to around 7,500 addresses and will usually include 16 colour pages in A4 size. The content and design of the magazine is completed by the Resident Involvement team. This contract would be for one supplier to manage the printing process of the magazine and link up with a separate supplier in order to package and post the magazine, on behalf of the Resident Involvement team.
