Initially planned for future implementation from 22 March 2026 to 21 March 2028, this tender included two lots focused on design and print services. Classifications under this framework highlight opportunities in printed materials, printing services, and marketing-related designs. Located in Kingston, UK, the process entered the planning stage from 23 May 2025, and was originally set to have further tender notices by 1 October 2025. However, the procurement was cancelled on 6 March 2026 due to reduced demand, transitioning plans for service provision to Below-Threshold procedures. This procurement offered substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in print and digital design, marketing campaigns, and web development, particularly those adept at servicing public authority needs. Although withdrawn, the framework was designed to be above-threshold, providing a structured platform for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to compete. The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames actively sought vendors capable of delivering comprehensive design and print solutions, thus businesses with robust capabilities in creative concept development, graphic design, and specialised printing had the most to offer. This potential engagement emphasized the growing role of SMEs in governmental procurement strategies, with the council showing intent to utilize their unique offerings in future below-threshold procurements. ## Notice The Council is seeking to establish a framework split into two Lots: Lot 1 - Design (development of micro-sites and ongoing support, digital banner advertising, app development, social media and e-mail marketing campaigns and associated services, graphic design for print output, creative concept and brand development, creative page layout, typesetting and text layout). Lot 2 - Print Services (Printing of leaflets, publications, flyers, magazines, pamphlets, newsletters, posters, display boards, pull up banners, reports, forms and similar services as required by the council. Postage of printed material as and when required. Printing onto paper, corex, foamex, card and vinyl banners. Finishing requirements to include perfect binding, saddle stitching, wire stitching, drilling, die cutting, folding, laminating, trimming, creasing and perforation.) ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020642-2026 | | Notice type | UK12 - Procurement Termination Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Mar 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Oct 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 22 Mar 2026 - 21 Mar 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £240,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Withdrawn | | Lots status | Withdrawn | | Awards status | Cancelled | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE ROYAL BOROUGH OF KINGSTON UPON THAMES | | Additional buyers | Missing | | Locality | KINGSTON | | Post town | Kingston upon Thames | | Postcode | KT1 1EU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI6 Outer London - South | | ITL 3 | TLI63 Merton, Kingston upon Thames and Sutton | | Local authority | Kingston upon Thames | | Electoral ward | Kingston Town | | Westminster constituency | Kingston and Surbiton | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 22 - Printed matter and related products - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 22100000 - Printed books, brochures and leaflets - 22314000 - Designs - 72413000 - World wide web (www) site design services - 79342000 - Marketing services - 79820000 - Services related to printing ## Release History - 6 Mar 2026 at 17:52 - TenderCancellation - UK12 - Procurement Termination Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020642-2026 - 23 May 2025 at 15:47 - Planning - UK1 - Pipeline Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/026984-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020642-2026 6th March 2026 - Procurement termination notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/026984-2025 23rd May 2025 - Pipeline notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://www.kingston.gov.uk - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
