II.1.4) Short description
AHDB is looking to create a framework agreement with approx. 6 and 10 print suppliers who can produce a high standard product that is colour accurate, without deviation, to match the signed off press-calibrated colour proofs supplied. This will ensure that high-quality, colour-consistent literature is produced throughout the range of AHDB corporate publications and other printed matter. Additionally we are looking for suppliers who can build relationships with the print department personnel at AHDB, which, in turn, will provide cost-effective solutions.
The print framework must capture the print requirements in relation to digital and lithographic print production and point of sale material. The framework will cover a wide range of items from business cards, single colour letterheads or small A7 cards to high-quality technical publications, promotional literature and large format event display items.
Please note we are not looking for print management companies.
