To seek authorisation to implement a new Creative Design and Print Framework Agreement.

Cabinet considered a report seeking authority to implement a new creative design and print framework agreement.

Creative design and print services were procured externally by a number of different services within the authority. In September, 2010 Cheshire East Council put in place a contract for Creative Design and print services with a single provider. The contract expired on 15^th April 2013.

The report sought authority to implement a new Creative Design and Print Framework Agreement which would provide a value for money and flexible creative design and print service for the authority. The Framework Agreement held a notional value of between £800k and £1.2m over the period of the contract which was for two years with the option to extend for one year and then one more year: a potential total  period of four years.  

RESOLVED

That following an OJEU procurement process, the Portfolio Holder for Strategic Communities be given delegated authority to appoint the successful bidders to the Creative Design and Print Framework Agreement.
