The procurement method used was an open procedure, which was above the threshold. The procurement catered to the print industry under the CPV classification 79810000, with the delivery of services within England, United Kingdom. The tender had a submission deadline on 1st October 2024 and reached the award stage with active status on 21st January 2025. The council, located at The Portal, Ellesmere Port, England, with contact person Ellie Ramage, orchestrated this process to ensure continual supply of crucial printing services over the stipulated contract period. This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which the procurement process shows a predisposition for. The multi-lot structure of the framework allows businesses to tender for specific lots—general printing or large format printing, including signage—based on their expertise and capacity. Winning such contracts can enhance credibility, open up further business prospects and foster partnerships with a prominent local council. Suppliers like B&D Print Services Limited, Cliffe Enterprise, and others who took part in this contract exemplify the types of businesses ideally positioned to benefit from such public procurement opportunities due to their scale and specialisation in printing services. This engagement not only boosts their operational footprint but also aligns them with strategic public sector partnerships in the region. ## Notice Print Framework Cheshire West and Chester Council intend to establish framework agreements for lot 1 and lot 2 for printing requirements for a 3 year period, with a possible option to extend for 12 months.
