## About this tender

Derby City Council (DCC) has a requirement to produce a range of materials to communicate messages both internally and externally. To help to meet this demand a new contract in the form of a Framework for Printing Services will be procured.

The Council is looking for tenders from suitably qualified and experienced, providers for the following lots:

- Lot 1 Standard and Large Volume Printing
- Lot 2 Signage and Large Format Printing
- Lot 3 Promotional Printing
- Lot 4 Advertising Boarding and Installation
- Lot 5 Vehicle Signage

Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) is underway in several areas across the country and may result in changes to council structures, service delivery and responsibilities, and geographical coverage during the life of the contract. For this contract it is anticipated that the effects of LGR may lead to an increased service demand or the need to extend provision to new areas or client groups.

An additional estimated value of £1,761,000 (Including VAT) to reflect potential future changes in service scope or volume linked to LGR. This is not committed spend.
