Durham County Council has initiated a procurement process for the Provision of Printing & Mailing Services, aimed at supporting its internal Design & Print Services and Mailing Teams. This procedure falls under the industry category of Printing and Related Services (CPV: 79800000) and is classified as a service procurement. Situated in the UKC14 region, this framework intends to establish a pool of up to four suppliers. Key dates include the submission deadline on 30th August 2024, an award period starting on 31st August 2024, and the final contract signing completed on 6th September 2024. The procurement method adopted is an open procedure, ensuring broad competition and transparency.

This tender offers considerable business growth opportunities for firms specialising in printing and mailing services. Businesses capable of providing high-quality management systems and processes, with a focus on efficient operational and contract management, will find this tender particularly suitable. The framework, which includes suppliers such as Potts Print UK Limited, Harlow Printing Limited, Statex Press (Northern) Limited, and Inc Dot Com Limited, is designed to alleviate internal capacity constraints within the Council.
