Following attempts by Xentrall Shared Services
to design a local brand for COVID, instructions were given from the
Cabinet Member with Health and Housing Portfolio to MT Print to
produce some designs. The MT Print designs were subsequently
approved but council officers had been unable to secure the digital
components of the designs from MT Print that are required to print
the materials via Xentrall Shared Services.
The materials (posters) needed to be printed as a matter of urgency
due to the increasing number of COVID cases in Darlington, so
approval has been requested to go ahead with using MT Print for
this service while the digital assets were secured for future
use.
Financial/staffing/health & safety (incl virus transmission
risks)/service delivery impacts/other risks and impacts
considered:
Financial cost estimated to be between £300 - £400
(excluding design costs). To be funded from PHE/Government COVID
grant. Small impact on Xentrall Shared Services income. Risk of
potential precedent being set.
Equality Impacts:
None.
