Description

The University of Sunderland and its subsidiaries are looking to procure Managed Print, Mailroom and Offsite Bulk and Marketing Print Services, from August 2023 to July 2028 (with an option to extend for a further 1 year). A 5-month mobilisation plan is expected to commence March 2023.

By expressing your interest in the tender through InTend, you will be given access to all the tender documents which outline the requirements and relevant dates, essential information, and what is required.

The Authority can award all Lots to a single Tenderer. However, separate contracts for each or any combination of the Lots will be awarded to separate Tenderers if it is more economically advantageous to do so.
The Authority has the right to choose Lot 4 instead of Lots 1 and 3 if it is economically advantageous to do so.
Tenderers are invited to bid for [all or any of] the Lots.
