Trinity Multi Academy Trust (Trinity) is a growing multi-academy trust serving communities across Yorkshire. The Trust operates a diverse portfolio of primary, secondary, and post-16 academies and is committed to delivering high-quality education, operational excellence, and value for money.

As part of its ongoing commitment to securing high-quality goods and services, Trinity is undertaking a preliminary market engagement exercise to consider if the future development of a potential multi-supplier framework agreement for printed materials, promotional products would be beneficial.

Any potential framework may include, but is not limited to:

- Lanyards and identification accessories
- Brochures and prospectuses
- Leaflets and flyers
- Promotional literature
- Corporate stationery
- Branded merchandise

Trinity is considering the potential of a multi-lot framework structure, with multiple suppliers appointed across one or more lots to meet the diverse requirements of its academies and central services.

The lot structure has not yet been determined or considered and will be informed through this market engagement exercise.

The purpose of the engagement is to:

- Understand the current supplier market and supplier capabilities.
- Gather feedback on a proposed framework and potential lot structure.
- Explore innovative products, services, and delivery models.
- Inform the procurement strategy and framework design.

Information provided by suppliers will be used only to inform the Trust's procurement strategy, framework design, specification, and requirements.

Should Trinity decide to proceed with a formal procurement process, the opportunity will be advertised through the appropriate public procurement channels to ensure all interested suppliers are notified and have the opportunity to participate.
