What the notice says

Liverpool City Council has a high-volume print and mailing facility to economically produce internal work for its customers. It also has a fleet of Multi Function Devices (MFDs) in use across the city, managed by the Document Solutions Service. The Council requires the implementation of a procurement framework for paper, envelopes and packaging so paper and envelopes can be bought efficiently and at an affordable cost.
