## Summary

The procurement process for the "9952 - Procurement of Printing services framework of suppliers" is initiated by Norwich City Council, based in Norwich, United Kingdom. This open tender is classified under the printing services industry (CPV code: 79810000). The tender award was completed on 30th July 2020, with the contract starting on 1st August 2020 and running until 31st July 2024. The contract is expected to have a value between £250,000 and £260,000 and will accommodate a variety of printing services as per the council's fluctuating needs.

This opportunity can foster growth for businesses providing printing services, particularly large or specialised printing companies that are capable of handling varied requests. Suppliers in this sector including those offering digital printing, distribution services, and commercial printing should consider bidding. With Norwich City Council potentially extending this framework to related entities, smaller suppliers could also explore joint ventures to meet requirements, thus broadening their market reach.

## Notice

Norwich City Council (the administering authority) has a requirement to provide a wide variety of printing services across the whole authority. Analysis of printing requests across the council over the last four financial years shows spend to be circa PS256,500. The printing requirements of the authority will fluctuate depending on the council's needs. Therefore this level of volume/expenditure cannot be guaranteed. The council in the future may wish this framework to also be accessible by Norwich City Services Ltd, a wholly owned non trading company of Norwich City Council. This service provides the council with the means of achieving its targets and deadlines to deliver print services to council wide customers across all service areas.
