Manchester City Council seeks printing services supplier
Manchester City Council is set to procure a supplier for its printing services.
The council aims to appoint a company which will handle all of its printing requirements from small-to-medium quantities of business stationary to large print runs of booklets, leaflets and personalised DM.
The tender will also cover specialist areas of print that fit within its promotional items framework.
The majority of its print is currently provided by the Council’s in-house creative services agency M-four which has an offset litho printer with the capacity for up to B3 four colour work, and also a single capacity to collate, trim to size, stitch, package and deliver work.
Pre-press support is also available from the studio, while M-four has a copy centre which can provide the Council with hi-volume monochrome and colour digital printing and copying needs and two colour presses.
The contract will begin on 1 April 2011 and last for three years with a possible one-year extension.
Expressions of interest should be made before 28 October.
