That the contract is awarded to Tenderer C identified in confidential Annexe A.

Reasons for the decision:

Tenderer C scored the highest overall points following the tender evaluation.

Alternative options considered:

      I.         Undertaking all printing using in-houses services: There is not the required level of expertise or knowledge available deliver the specialist print services that are legally required.

 

     II.         Utilising existing framework agreements: Those found to be available do not provide a comprehensive service required by the Council and there are no opportunities for collaboration with other public bodies.
