Print & Signage Framework 2026

Carmarthenshire County Council · Local authority

In brief

Carmarthenshire County Council awarded printing and marketing work to Allen's Printers, Harlow Printing Limited T/A Harlow Solutions and Chetham House Ltd T/A SF Taylor and 16 others on 3 June 2026.

It is a framework worth up to £1,600,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 3 years, up to 8 years with extensions, starting 7 April 2026.

It is split into 6 lots, so a supplier can bid for part of the work.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

What the notice says

THIS IS NOT A TENDERING OPPORTUNITY. Carmarthenshire County Council has commissioned Suppliers on a framework basis, to supply Print and Promotional Signage Materials and Services. The Framework consists of 6 lots. The figure for the estimated spend in each lot, is the anticipated total value of the Framework as a whole, over 8 years. As this is a framework arrangement, the values of potential spend for each individual lot cannot be specified. For the avoidance of doubt, the Framework value stated in this notice is correct, as is the Framework term ending in June 2034. Any differing values in previously published notices were issued in error and should be disregarded.
