Decision details

This contract covers all the Council’s printing requirements from publicity and promotional material to corporate stationery and printed forms where required by the business. Apart from the corporate stationery and forms all the print requirements are bespoke material, one-offs and hugely varied in their requirements. Over the life of the previous contract the Council's print spend has being driven down through a combination of better buying through the contract and a move to digital communications, but there is still a need for printed material to communicate with residents.

The new contract is for an initial period of three (3) years and has two (2) optional two (2) year extensions.

A full OJEU procurement has been carried out and following the evaluation of the seven (7) responses received, the response from Corporate Document Services Ltd, scoring highest for both quality and price, has been identified as the most economically advantageous tender.

Decision made:

It was agreed that a contract be awarded to Sight for Surrey at an annual value of £1,524,000. The total value across the life of the contract is £9,144,000.

The contract will be in place for three years with an option to extend for up to a further 36 months (1+1+1).

Reasons for Decision:

Adult Social Care has specific duties under the Care Act 2014 (s.78) to provide services to adults who are Deaf, or who have sight and/or hearing impairments and awarding a new contract will enable these duties to be met.
