That Cabinet notes the outcome of the procurement process and accepts the appointment of the print and distribution providers.

A report was submitted to inform Cabinet of the final outcome of the procurement process for printing the council’s newspaper the Reporter

As a result of the procurement process, Yorkshire Web, a company based in Barnsley had been awarded the contract for printing the Reporter. The contract would run for two years beginning on 1 April 2013 with the first Reporter under the new contract scheduled for print on 16 May 2013.

It was noted that the agreement would ensure an increase of around 30 per cent in the number of pages printed in the Reporter each year without the need to increase the Reporter print budgets.

Members thanked the Head of Communications and his team for the hard work undertaken in securing the contract.

Resolved:      That Cabinet notes the outcome of the procurement process and accepts the appointment of the print and distribution providers.
