The closing date for submissions is set for 10th March 2017, with the contract anticipated to commence on 17th April 2017 and concluding on 17th April 2020. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing for broader participation from interested parties. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in printing and production services, particularly those capable of handling varying requirements that may extend beyond in-house capabilities. Companies with expertise in graphic design, digital services, and comprehensive print management would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, external printing organisations that can meet the specific needs of Loughborough University and its affiliates will find this tender a chance to enhance their business visibility and expand their clientele within the education sector. ## Notice The University wishes to enter into a framework agreement with a contractor(s) to supply Printing and Production Services. The University will have varying requirements, therefore the services/products requested in this tender document are including those specified below but not limiting to those services. Specific requirements will be agreed with the successful contract on the award of each job. Creative and Print Services manage all Print Buying for Loughborough University and also provide a broad range of integrated creative services covering graphic, digital and web design, social media, video and photography. Creative and Print Services have a full range of in-house print and postal services including a modern in-house print facility which includes high volume black & white printing, full colour digital printing, large format and full colour digital Offset (SRA3). Postal services cover inbound and outbound mail and parcel deliveries to students and staff on campus. Creative and Print Services undertake work primarily for the University and some external clients (associated with the University) and other commercial organisations. There is a need within the department to establish agreements direct with printers to fulfil printing requirements beyond the capabilities of the in-house provision. Please note that this will form part of the framework agreement.
