Corrigendum-Printer Paper, Envelopes & Associated Products Framework
AI Summary
Liverpool City Council is seeking suppliers capable of supporting its internal Printroom service through a framework contract for printer paper, envelopes, and related stationery products. The contract, open across four distinct lots, requires each supplier to meet a minimum product coverage based on a predefined core product list while offering the option to supply additional items where available. Delivery speed is a key performance criterion: suppliers for Lot 1 must deliver within 48 hours, with the flexibility to accommodate shorter intervals on a price‑ranking basis; all other lots are likewise expected to provide prompt availability per the council’s operational demand. Royal Mail‑approved envelope manufacturers for Lot 3 must additionally complete the Royal Mail quality assurance process to supply machinable envelopes that comply with Royal Mail Retail and Wholesale sorted letter specifications, provide pre‑printed addressed envelopes that pass optical character recognition design requirements, supply proof PDFs for initial and changed artwork, and deliver orders within two weeks of artwork sign‑off. All suppliers are evaluated on equal parts of quality and price. All products must conform to the specified core product list with options for additional items where available; envelope manufacturers for Lot 3 must be Royal Mail approved and satisfy OCR‑Royal Mail design standards, with a two‑week turnaround for artwork sign‑off.
