The procurement, classified under printing services (CPV 79810000), was conducted through an open procedure and is now complete. The tender was published on 3rd June 2019, with an end date for submissions set for 24th June 2019, and the awarded contract started on 1st August 2019, running until 31st December 2021. The contract, valued at £90,000, is intended for use primarily within the North West region of the United Kingdom, emphasising the importance of quality and sustainability in printed materials. This opportunity can significantly benefit SMEs that specialise in printing services, particularly those able to meet eco-friendly standards, such as using 100% recycled paper and recyclable inks. Businesses that can efficiently manage order specifications while ensuring high-quality finishes would be particularly well suited to compete in this tender. Additionally, the potential for collaborative work with other Hub agencies and third-party partners presents avenues for further growth and expansion in related sectors, such as marketing and public relations. ## Notice The GC Business Growth Hub (the Hub) wishes to appoint a single service supplier to enter into a Contract for the Delivery of Print services. To support the marketing activities of the Hub, the appointed Print Services supplier will be required to supply printed matter to the specifications in the Pricing Schedule, within the timescales agreed for each order. It should also be noted that, because the majority of the orders will be used for marketing purposes, the quality of the finish is of equal importance to the price and timescales are also of vital importance. All paper stock used in pursuance of this contract must be 100% recycled, recyclable wherever possible and eco-friendly ink must be used. There may be a requirement to work with other Hub agencies, suppliers and third party partners, including contracted suppliers for full service marketing, media and public relations, direct mail, and events. This Contract is being commissioned by the Hub but the Growth Company (the Hub's parent organisation) will on occasion need to utilise these Print services, where it benefits the aims of the Hub and the wider Group. Resource will be drawn upon as and when required. This Contract will assist the Hub in helping ambitious business people to realise their growth potential, by offering access to a range of practical services, from assessing growth options to unlocking finance or accessing experienced business mentors. https://in-tendhost.co.uk/manchestergrowthcompany/aspx/ProjectManage/66 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3faba504-d969-4e61-a2b7-7d3721ed981c | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Aug 2019 | | Submission deadline | 24 Jun 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 30 Jul 2019 | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2019 - 31 Dec 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £90,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £90,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE BUSINESS GROWTH HUB LIMITED | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M1 5JW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Deansgate | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | PARAGON CPS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79810000 - Printing services ## Release History - 15 Aug 2019 at 14:16 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3faba504-d969-4e61-a2b7-7d3721ed981c - 3 Jun 2019 at 13:54 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2772e647-9e81-4368-aec0-11c90507053f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3faba504-d969-4e61-a2b7-7d3721ed981c 15th August 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2772e647-9e81-4368-aec0-11c90507053f 3rd June 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/manchestergrowthcompany/aspx/ProjectManage/66 Tender portal ## Notice URLs - https://www.businessgrowthhub.com/tenders ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
