This open procedure is aimed at supporting the University's internal print unit, Design and Print Solutions (DPS), with its litho printing and specialist finishing needs. The estimated total spending is approximately £600,000 GBP for the contract period from 18 April 2018 to 16 April 2020, with a minimum financial commitment of £300,000 GBP. The tender period ended on 1 March 2018, and the main procurement category falls under goods related to printed matter and associated products. The tender is located in Yorkshire and the Humber, specifically at the University’s address in Heslington, York, YO10 5DD. This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the printing industry, particularly those with capabilities in litho printing and advanced finishing techniques. Companies that can provide high-quality printed materials at competitive prices will be well-suited to participate in this framework. The successful suppliers will have the chance to compete for individual print jobs, potentially leading to sustainable relationships and ongoing business opportunities with the University of York. Targeted businesses include large-scale printing companies that can accommodate variable workload demands and meet the required quality standards. ## Notice The University of York is pleased to invite tenders for the provision of printed material and associated services. This tender is being conducted on behalf of the University's internal print unit, known as Design and Print Solutions (DPS). DPS is the University's in-house printer and produces a variety of printed material for our departments. It has good digital print capability but needs support from external printers when jobs need to be litho printed, require specialist finishing techniques or when they are already running at capacity for digital jobs. The purpose of this tender is to appoint three external print companies to a framework agreement. The successful suppliers will be required to produce and deliver a range of printed materials and associated services. The three suppliers appointed to the framework will have equal status and will be required to compete for each print job that DPS wishes to outsource. The estimated spend through the framework is approximately 150000 GBP per annum, shared between the suppliers.
