To consider a report by Councillor Huw Hilditch-Roberts, Lead Member for Education, Children’s Services and Public Engagement (copy enclosed) seeking Cabinet approval of the suppliers to be included on the new Dynamic Purchasing System framework for design and print.

RESOLVED that Cabinet approve the new Dynamic Purchasing System Framework list of suppliers who have been evaluated as detailed within the report.

Councillor Huw Hilditch-Roberts presented the report seeking Cabinet approval of the suppliers to be included on the new Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) framework for design and print.  The DPS was a collaboration with Flintshire County Council and as the estimated spend was over £4m Cabinet approval was required.

On 23 March 2021 Cabinet had approved advertising the new DPS framework for graphic design, print, banners and signage, vehicle livery and specialised print across five procurement ‘lots’ over a six year period in collaboration with Flintshire County Council.  Following the subsequent evaluation process Cabinet approval was sought to enter into a contract with a list of suppliers to be included in the new framework which had been detailed in the report under the five procurement ‘lots’.

Cabinet noted that the framework could be added to as appropriate during its six year lifetime following an application and evaluation process.  It was confirmed that work was ongoing with the Economic and Business Development Team and its equivalent at Flintshire County Council to proactively engage with local companies with a view to including them on the new framework.

RESOLVED that Cabinet approve the new Dynamic Purchasing System Framework list of suppliers who have been evaluated as detailed within the report.
