Description

The Council strives to communicate effectively with all of its residents, workforce, visitors and businesses. One method of communication is print and associated products. a number of difficulties have been identified in relation to the usage of printers. The key areas identified are as follows: • varying levels of expertise across the Council; • lack of consistency in compiling specifications; • varying knowledge in commissioning printers; • wide ranging quality of printed matter produced; • lack of compliance with Corporate Standards; • varying levels of prices being charged across the Council; • lack of consistency in approach when producing printed materials. The purpose of this exercise is to establish an open framework for Sefton Council to provide printing services in a co-ordinated, consistent, efficient and cost effective fashion.
