A single-operator 48 month Framework Agreement for Design and Print

The Health Research Board

The HRB produces more than 20 publications annually and generates a variety of promotional material. To achieve this we need a competent company that can deliver quality design and layout for a range of different projects at the same time.
Going forward it is anticipated that the new design and print company would continue to provide design capacity for new materials and promotional events, but would put more emphasis in supporting staff to populate existing templates.

Deadline

The time limit for receipt of tenders was 2018-06-12. The procurement was published on 2018-05-15.
