Description
Allen's Printers provide bespoke printed forms for various Clinical departments within the Health Board; commonly used forms were established on Oracle Catalogue and have been made available to the end users to order. There are 38-off printed form types that are made available. Stationary Print Services is within a limited market, due to the bespoke items created by Allen's it was previously decided that a direct award is the most suitable route for this Procurement.
Procurement Services has previously approached All Wales Procurement team in order to establish whether these bespoke stationary print services can be incorporated within an All Wales agreement, however at this time this option is not present. As the current agreement is due to expire, a new contract is required due to no extension options available.
