Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
Most small design studios or print shops will struggle because the contract value is £1.13 million and the council expects rapid 2-hour turnaround on reprographics plus high-end design work, which typically requires significant production capacity, capital investment in print equipment or supply chain partnerships, and proven public sector experience.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
