Description
The Council has a centralised Strategic Communications Team (SCT), whose primary objectives are to significantly enhance the quality, coherence, effectiveness and value for money of all Council communications activity, optimise public awareness of and access to Council services, and enhance the profile and image of the Council and the Borough.
The Council has taken the decision to close the in-house Print Unit. Going forward, all print will be outsourced to external providers via this contract.
High-quality, cost-effective, timely external provision of print services is required across the full spectrum of print media. The Council is therefore seeking to appoint a limited number of external print companies to provide high-quality print services.
The duration of the contract will be for a period of one-year with an option of two, one-year extensions subject to review.
