The Government Procurement Service, North East Procurement Organisation and Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation have released that they are working in a collaborative partnership and will be going to market soon for a new printing and specialist paper framework.
According to the Government Procurement Service, the new framework will be exclusively for non-central government public sector organisations use.
The scope of the new framework will include the provision of a full range of printing and specialist papers and the government is currently developing the scope, specification and costing models.
It is expected that the framework will be available to access from summer 2013.
