This will predominantly be used by the internal Print Room (Creative Studio) to support the Team when they either don't have the capability or capacity to deliver a particular print job. It is the expectation that bidders will deliver in-house printing and finishing services, however, it is acceptable to outsource specialist finishing services. The Framework will have an initial term of 3 years with an extension of up to 2 years. Spend in this area is c. £200k per annum, however, this is not a guaranteed level of spend and is split across the three lots.
