This initiative is part of the tourism industry, aimed at acquiring a diverse assortment of postcards and calendars for sale in various sites across the UK, specifically Edinburgh. The procurement method used is an open procedure and is currently at the award stage, with the contract having been signed on 19 March 2019. The total contract value is £200,000, with the framework agreement set to commence on 18 March 2019, lasting for two years, with a potential two-year extension subject to performance. Suppliers were invited to submit bids until 11 February 2019. This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in producing or distributing printed materials, particularly those focused on tourism-related products. Companies capable of providing high-quality items that cater to heritage and conservation themes would be well-suited to compete for this framework. The procurement process encourages a varied supply base but does not favour exclusive agreements, allowing multiple suppliers to benefit from contracts with the buying organisations. ## Notice Historic Environment Scotland (HES) and VisitScotland (VS) is seeking Supplier(s) for this Framework Agreement for the nationwide supply of a wide and varied range of postcards and calendars for sale within the locations / sites / outlets.
