Purpose:

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:

It was AGREED that a contract be awarded for Asbestos Consultancy Services to WYG Environment Planning Transport Ltd at the total contract sum of £1,506,660.

Surrey County Council has a statutory duty under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 to manage asbestos containing materials within its premises and require a UKAS registered asbestos consultant to assist the council in meeting its obligations.

 

Alternative options considered:

None.
