This preliminary engagement is set to conclude on 18 February 2021 and aims to inform the market regarding an upcoming replacement framework for printing and publication services. The initiative encompasses various print types, including traditional, promotional, and large format printing. The total estimated value of this opportunity is £500,000, and all interactions and document access will occur via the YORtender platform. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the printing and publishing sector, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Engaging in this preliminary consultation allows firms to provide feedback on the draft framework specification and suggests innovations, potentially enhancing their competitive positioning for future procurement opportunities. Interested suppliers should consider registering on YORtender to participate effectively in this engagement process. ## Notice North East Lincolnshire Council (the Authority) is undertaking a second preliminary market consultation (PMC) on its idea about a replacement to its printing and publications framework. The objective of this PMC is to make the market aware that the opportunity is coming up, share with the market the Authority's draft framework specification, gather feedback on this and to seek ideas about opportunities and innovation in the market. In summary, the Authority is considering procuring a framework of external print and publication providers which covers the following job types: * traditional and lithograph printing. * promotional print. * large format print. For further information about the PMC, you will need to register with https://www.yortender.co.uk and then express an interest in the opportunity in order to access the PMC documents and questionnaire. Information about the PMC is only available via YORtender. There are supplier help guides, which are accessible via the YORtender home page if you have trouble accessing the PMC. It is important to note that a PMC is not a tender exercise. Following PMC, the Authority may conclude that procurement is not the best solution to meet a particular strategy outcome. The Authority may conclude that it would be better to do something entirely different to the intent within this PMC. It is essential that any organisation participating in the PMC understands that a procurement opportunity is not guaranteed. It is therefore essential that organisations understand that this activity is not part of a procurement exercise and involvement in the PMC does not affect an organisation's positioning either positively or negatively should a procurement opportunity arise subsequently. All questions and clarifications about this PMC must only be submitted via https://www.yortender.co.uk ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a8e691a9-1e42-45bb-9db7-ab38544caf62 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Feb 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 18 Feb 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTH EAST LINCOLNSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | GRIMSBY | | Post town | Doncaster | | Postcode | DN31 1HU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE1 East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire | | ITL 3 | TLE13 North and North East Lincolnshire | | Local authority | North East Lincolnshire | | Electoral ward | West Marsh | | Westminster constituency | Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79800000 - Printing and related services ## Release History - 1 Feb 2021 at 11:44 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a8e691a9-1e42-45bb-9db7-ab38544caf62 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a8e691a9-1e42-45bb-9db7-ab38544caf62 1st February 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Procurer/Advert/View?advertId=36eb0e50-7064-eb11-8108-005056b64545&fromAdvertEvent=True Link to YORtender ## Notice URLs - http://www.nelincs.gov.uk/ - https://www.yortender.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
