Print & Associated Services Framework (2027) Portfolio It is vital that the procurement strategy is correctly informed and formulated to ensure that the Print & Associated Services Framework (2027) portfolio can be brought to market in its optimal form. In order to complete and finalise the strategy, Scottish Procurement recognises the value of suppliers and industry bodies having the opportunity to contribute to this process on a non competitive and non judgmental basis. This request for information is aimed at collating those views from market participants. This new Framework is likely to be a Cat “A” procurement, split into Lots as per the current iteration. The portfolio estimated value is 36,000,000 GBP over 4 years (9,000,000 GBP per annum). 4. Procurement Model The following procurement objectives have been defined for the new Framework: - To establish a supply base with broad service coverage to deliver a high quality of service; - To negotiate and implement a framework that delivers best economic value across the whole of the Scottish public sector; - Improve the sharing of best practice and knowledge and increased efficiency; and - Establish a Framework which has a positive impact on the Scottish economy and society. In striving to achieve these objectives, the strategy will also seek to consider its impact on: - Incumbent and potential suppliers; - The long term competition in the provision of Print & Associated Services to the public sector in Scotland; - The need for continuity of service provision between current and proposed contractual arrangements; - The need for choice and flexibility to be retained in order to address certain specific needs of individual end user organisations; - Delivering Sustainable Procurement - seeking opportunities for Community Benefits, and; - In accordance with Scottish Government policy, the Application of Fair Work First Criteria of which it is our expectation that suppliers will pay the Real Living Wage.
