This tender, published on 31 January 2018, will enable Design and Print Solutions (DPS), the university's in-house print unit, to outsource printing jobs as needed. The tender period ends on 1 March 2018, with the contract run beginning on 16 April 2018 and lasting until 15 April 2022. The projected annual spend for this framework is approximately £150,000, shared among the appointed suppliers. This tender presents significant opportunities for printing companies, particularly those with capabilities in litho printing and specialist finishing techniques, to expand their business in the educational sector. The framework will allow successful bidders to engage in a competitive environment for each project, thereby maximising their chances of securing work. Businesses with a focus on high-quality print services and the ability to handle varying capacities could thrive in this procurement opportunity. ## Notice The University of York is pleased to invite tenders for the provision of printed material and associated services. This tender is being conducted on behalf of the University's internal print unit, known as Design and Print Solutions (DPS). DPS is the University's in-house printer and produces a variety of printed material for our departments. It has good digital print capability but needs support from external printers when jobs need to be litho printed, require specialist finishing techniques or when they are already running at capacity for digital jobs. The purpose of this tender is to appoint three external print companies to a framework agreement. The successful suppliers will be required to produce and deliver a range of printed materials and associated services. The three suppliers appointed to the framework will have equal status and will be required to compete for each print job that DPS wishes to outsource. The estimated spend through the framework is approximately 150000 GBP per annum, shared between the suppliers. Please express an interest to view the tender documentation.
