Introduction

The Crescent Purchasing Consortium Limited has put in place an EU compliant framework for Print and Related Services (hereafter the framework). It is a proactive, best value, collaborative framework that can deliver your entire need for Print and Related Services.

 

Framework Summary

The framework agreement is designed to be a one stop shop for an organisation’s entire Print Related Services across 3 Lots:

  • Lot 1 Printing
  • Lot 2 Design and Print
  • Lot 3 Neutral Vendor

Framework users should note that the services and supplies detailed below are not representative of all services and supplies available under the framework. Suppliers are at liberty to make available to framework users their wider portfolio of print and related services within the broad definition of the services and supplies available under each of the framework Lots.

 

Lot 1 Printing

This Lot is designed to provide framework users with access to a comprehensive suite of printed material including but not limited to, the printing of the prospectuses, letterheads, postcards, flyers, leaflets, reports, newsletters, business cards, guides/brochures, roller banners and large external banners.

 

 

Lot 2 Design and Print

Under Lot 2, the framework user not only procures the printed material but also utilises the services of the Lot suppliers to design the printed material. This isin addition to users having full access to a comprehensive suite of printed material including but not limited to, the printing of the prospectuses, letterheads, postcards, flyers, leaflets, reports, newsletters, business cards, guides/brochures, roller banners and large external banners.

 

 

Lot 3 Neutral Vendor

This Lot is designed to provide framework users with access to a neutral vendor who does not provide the print service themselves but works on behalf of the framework userto obtain the best value service from a bank of print and related services suppliers. The suppliers might be suggested by the Neutral Vendor and/ or by the individual framework user preferences or the requirement advertised locally for that framework user. The neutral vendor would manage, control and maintain all customer facing activities directly with, and on behalf of, the framework user.
