Indicative Costs for Communications

All prices are current and competitive for the UK. However, this guide is not intended as a substitute for seeking estimates from local companies and following your council’s procurement policy, which often requires a minimum of three quotations. Where you can secure suitable in-house services you should expect to make savings.

This guide should be used in conjunction with the following guidance documents produced by WRAP, which include:

• Improving Recycling Through Effective Communications
• Design of Communications Material
• Printing Processes Explained

There are many ways of communicating messages and you need to ensure you select a mix of relevant communication methods and activities based on your area and project. With so much choice there is inevitably a variation in price and small changes in specification can have a large impact on the cost.

Prepare to be flexible in terms of your communications approach and specification in order to get a price that fits within your budget. Ask your suppliers lots of questions, and if costs are coming in higher than you can afford ask how they can be reduced – make use of their experience and expertise.
