PRINTING OF A4 BOOKLET FOR ARTSCAPE's 55TH GALA CONCERT

Artscape has issued a notice for the printing of an A4 booklet for its 55th Gala Concert, filed under the goods category. The published material identifies the printed item and the event it serves and little else. It does not state the number of pages, the quantity to be produced, the paper stock, binding or finish, or whether the artwork and text will be supplied by the buyer or must be prepared by the printer. No delivery address, delivery deadline, proof or sample requirement appears, and there is no indication of a budget, an estimated value or any evaluation criteria against which a quotation would be judged. The notice also does not set out which documents a responding supplier must submit, whether a prescribed quotation form applies, or how the award will be made. A printer considering a response would need the full quotation documents before pricing the job, because the fields reproduced here do not describe the specification.
