Furthermore, agrees that this includes the provision to extend the contract for a 2-year period (1 plus 1) (4 years in total) - taking the total cost to £703,948 for a 4-year contract term, and delegates approval of any extension to the Leader of the Council, in consultation with the Corporate Director.
2. Accept the tender from Cliffe Enterprise LTD for Lot 2 for the provision of the print of Hillingdon People to the London Borough of Hillingdon for a 2-year period from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2024 and an expected value of £172,000 (based upon average annual spend). Furthermore, agrees that this includes the provision to extend the contract for a 2-year period (1 plus 1) (4 years in total) - taking the total cost to £344,000 for a 4-year contract term, and delegates approval of any extension to the Leader of the Council, in consultation with the Corporate Director.
Reasons for decision
Cabinet gave its approval to award a contract for the Council’s main print service and a second contract for printing of the Hillingdon People magazine.
The Leader of the Council informed Cabinet that the contracts had been designed in two lots due to the type of printing requirements and to ensure value for money for the taxpayer.
Alternative options considered and rejected
Cabinet could have requested officers undertake printing on an ad hoc basis, but this would not have resulted in a cost effective approach.
