A key aspect to LTS meeting its remit is the development and production of materials to guide and support teachers, learners and others. A range of printed materials is required to support the work of LTS.
As a result Learning and Teaching Scotland has awarded a Framework Contract for print services. The contract is open to the other public sector contracting authorities in Scotland (for example, health bodies, non-departmental public bodies and agencies).
The Print Framework will run from March 2007 for 24 months, with the option for two 12-month extensions.
The main areas of print requirements for LTS are:
Design
Print finishing
Web conversion
CD-ROM and DVD duplication/production
Translation
Marketing materials
Signage, mostly for conferences
Under the Print Framework the following companies are now approved suppliers:
Allander Print Limited
