Additional info to help with briefs and agreeing a schedule It is your responsibility to raise a Purchase Order for the print work. Print will not start until the PO number has been provided.

Our Service Level Agreement with the council print supplier (M-Four, Manchester Council, agresso supplier number 804914) is for delivery within five working days.

However, large and more complex jobs can take up to ten working days depending on the quantity ordered and complexity of the work. This will be confirmed at print quote stage.

More specialised print may be carried out by other suppliers. If this is the case we will ensure you have a quote for all work and we will supply the Agresso supplier ID where appropriate.

The information you supply will help determine the time it will take to complete your work and ability to fit the work into our schedule.

The more accurate the information is the better we will be able to meet your requirements.

All text should meet Plain English and Oldham Council brand standards with all spelling and grammar checks complete before being submitted.

All photographs supplied should have the correct permissions for use and be of appropriate size and resolution we will get back to you as soon as possible if we need alternative or higher resolution images than those provided.

Any changes to the job specification may delay this process and may affect delivery of the finished work.

Unless otherwise agreed all work will conform to Oldham Council brand guides.
