This contract is divided into two Lots: Display, Signage and Large Format Print, and Small Format Print, each awarded to different suppliers. The awarded suppliers are Potts Print (UK) Limited and Statex Press (Northern) Limited, respectively. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the estimated annual value of the framework is around £500,000. The services will be utilised within the boundaries of the City of Sunderland, under the industry classification of CPV Code 79800000. The notice mentions a completion date in June 2026 following a delay in the award notice due to technical difficulties. The award was completed on 23 December 2025.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs specialising in comprehensive print services. Businesses with expertise in large format and small format print should find this framework beneficial, given the demand for digital, signage, and various stationary materials.
