## Summary

The Daventry District Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the "Daventry Calling Design and Print" project, which focuses on designing and printing a quarterly magazine distributed to over 33,000 households within the rural area of Northamptonshire. This direct award contract, valued at £37,000, is classified under the CPV code for printed matter and related products. The contract period runs from 1 May 2017 to 30 April 2020, following the tender period that concluded on 30 April 2017. The buying organisation, based in Daventry, has engaged Gemini Print Southern Ltd as the supplier for this project.

This contract presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in high-quality printed materials, particularly those with experience in magazine design and production. Smaller and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to compete for such tenders, as the procurement method allows for direct awards, providing a simplified process for capable suppliers. Companies that can align their services with the council’s corporate style and guidelines will be especially well-suited for this contract, enabling them to build long-term relationships within the public sector while enhancing their portfolio.
