Description

North East Lincolnshire Council (the Authority) is undertaking a second preliminary market consultation (PMC) on its idea about a replacement to its printing and publications framework. The objective of this PMC is to make the market aware that the opportunity is coming up, share with the market the Authority's draft framework specification, gather feedback on this and to seek ideas about opportunities and innovation in the market. In summary, the Authority is considering procuring a framework of external print and publication providers which covers the following job types: • traditional and lithograph printing. • promotional print. • large format print.

Other Information

For further information about the PMC, you will need to register with https://www.yortender.co.uk and then express an interest in the opportunity in order to access the PMC documents and questionnaire. Information about the PMC is only available via YORtender. There are supplier help guides, which are accessible via the YORtender home page if you have trouble accessing the PMC. It is important to note that a PMC is not a tender exercise. Following PMC, the Authority may conclude that procurement is not the best solution to meet a particular strategy outcome. The Authority may conclude that it would be better to do something entirely different to the intent within this PMC. It is essential that any organisation participating in the PMC understands that a procurement opportunity is not guaranteed. It is therefore essential that organisations understand that this activity is not part of a procurement exercise and involvement in the PMC does not affect an organisation's positioning either positively or negatively should a procurement opportunity arise subsequently. All questions and clarifications about this PMC must only be submitted via https://www.yortender.co.uk The PMC submission date is the 18th February 2021 at 12:00 pm (midday). The date identified in II.3 is indicative only and may change. The lotting identified in this notice and the PMC is how the Authority currently intends to split the framework up. Should the Authority decide to undertake a procurement exercise, then the lotting may change.
