## Summary

Lancaster University has awarded a contract for Print Services related to the production of the University’s Undergraduate and Postgraduate prospectuses for the 2020 entry year. The procurement process was conducted through an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 12 October 2018. The contract has a defined duration starting from 1 November 2018 and running until 31 October 2019. The successful bidder is required to offer both a dedicated service and a high-quality final product, aligning costs with the submitted bid, and may have additional responsibilities, such as printing the International prospectus.

This tender presents significant opportunities for printing companies, especially those with a proven track record in the higher education sector. Businesses that can demonstrate exemplary standards in printed document production, coupled with competitive pricing, would be well-suited to compete for future contract extensions, which may span an additional three years based on performance. Suppliers prepared to meet the needs of a prestigious academic institution like Lancaster University could experience substantial business growth through successful engagement in this procurement process.

## Notice

Lancaster University is inviting tenders on the terms set out in the associated documentation for the print production of the University's Undergraduate and Postgraduate prospectuses for the 2020 entry year. If the winning bidder provides a satisfactory service in the fulfilment of these requirements, then the contract will be extended on a yearly basis for the next three additional years subject to the previous year's performance. It may also be required for the winning bidder to print our International prospectus as well, although the specification for this is not yet known. We would however expect any costs to be in line with those provided within this bid. The University are looking for bids from printing companies with a proven track record of producing similar documents for the higher education sector, and who can offer both dedicated service and a final product which is of an exemplary standard, whilst remaining competitive on price.
