## Summary

The University of Derby is conducting an open tender process for a Print Services Framework, seeking qualified suppliers to provide educational, corporate, and high-profile printing services. The estimated maximum value of the framework is £1 million, though there is no guaranteed work. This opportunity is open for tenders until 30th May 2018, with the contract period commencing on 2nd July 2018 and lasting for three years, with the possibility of a one-year extension. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on printed matter and related products, and is located in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the printing and graphic design sectors that have experience in providing comprehensive printing solutions. With the expectation to appoint 3 to 5 suppliers for the framework, successful bidders will need to demonstrate a 'one stop shop' capability to meet various printing needs effectively. Businesses that can showcase their technical efficiency, experience, and ability to deliver high-quality printed materials are well-positioned to compete and grow through this contract.

## Notice

The University of Derby ("the University") invites tenders from suitably experienced suppliers to provide educational, corporate and high profile printing services so that we can renew our existing framework agreement for this scope. The estimated value of work to be called off under the duration of the framework is up to a maximum PS1 million (excluding VAT). No value of work is guaranteed to any of the suppliers appointed to the framework. We will appoint between 3 and 5 suppliers per Lot (across 3 Lots) on our Print Services Framework dependant on skills, expertise, experience, and technical efficiency. Our preferred option is to have suppliers on the framework that are able to operate as a 'one stop shop' for all of our needs. The framework will be in place for three years with the option of extending by one additional year (subject to performance).
