## Summary

The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh is conducting a procurement process for the "Award of Marketing assets print provision" aimed at printing various marketing materials over a four-year period, starting from 1st March 2022 and concluding on 27th February 2026. This project falls under the goods category within the CPV classification of printed books, brochures, and leaflets. The procurement is being carried out using the Scottish Government's print and associated services framework, with the primary objective being to produce approximately 417,500 leaflets annually for their four gardens.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in print production, especially those that specialise in high-quality leaflet and brochure printing. Suppliers that can meet the specific requirements for colour printing on FSC-certified stock and those capable of handling large-volume print jobs would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, firms offering complementary services such as packaging, distribution, and digital integration of print assets may find this contract particularly beneficial in expanding their portfolios and enhancing growth prospects.
