The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (‘MBIE’) is leading a Syndicated Closed Cluster of public sector agencies to identify and contract supplier/s for external integrated print solutions.

Through this Request for Proposal (‘RFP’), MBIE seeks responses from organisations with the competence and experience to provide Services under one or more of the following categories.
a. Printing and pre-press;
b. Forms management;
c. Storage, distribution and warehousing;
d. Mailhouse fulfilment;
e. Digital asset management; and
f. Promotional merchandise.

MBIE requires a supplier/s with a high level of competence, expertise and experience who can deliver on the external integrated print solutions requirements outlined in this RFP. These are discussed in Section 4. Strong organisational capability, capacity and robust practices must be supported by outstanding account management and customer service. Core, relevant experience and demonstrated knowledge and expertise in the form of a proven track record is important to MBIE, as is the technical ability and knowledge to provide Services across various digital platforms, providing a clear understanding of technology solutions.

MBIE wants to hear from Suppliers with extensive capability in one or more categories. MBIE remains open to a supplier panel or a sole supplier across all categories. Moreover, organisations can respond to this RFP as individual entities, or as a joint proposal and/or consortium. Responses will assist MBIE in determining the final solution construct. From the responses to this RFP, one or more parties may be invited to the contract negotiations stage.

This RFP is distinct from the Ministry of Social Development’s second generation syndicated procurement project. MSD are currently in the planning phase for an approach to market for the Syndicated External Print Services contract. The contract is expected to be awarded between March and June 2017. MBIE remains supportive of the MSD procurement.

MBIE intends to use the Suppliers from this RFP for an initial term of two years. MBIE also has the sole discretion to extend and/or vary the contract for subsequent Services for up to another one year. This RFP represents an opportunity to partner with MBIE, and other Participating Agencies, to provide the Services, as well as help MBIE transform aspects of its external integrated print solutions.
