About Us

Practical Action is an innovative international development organisation putting ingenious ideas to work so people in poverty can change their world. We believe in the power of small to change the big picture and our vision is for a world that works better for everyone.

We’re a global change-making group of problem solvers, knowledge mobilisers and expert advisers who help people find solutions to some of the world’s toughest problems – made worse by catastrophic climate change and persistent gender inequality.

We are a UK registered charity with live projects in Africa, Asia and Latin America, working with communities to develop long-term improvements in agriculture, climate resilience and clean energy access.

We are looking for a print supplier to fulfil the mailing of our marketing materials to existing audiences throughout the year.

We are looking for a print partner who will:

• Fulfil print of each project with a high level of quality, attention to detail, and client service
• Provide support with pricing, including quotations and updates around changes to costings
• Adhere to GDPR guidelines and measures to ensure the safety of our supporters’ data, including details of use of artificial intelligence (AI) in processes
• On selection of a partner both parties would be expected to sign a data protection agreement
• Can show green credentials
• Give examples of work on charity mailings (where applicable)

We expect to see/hear evidence of the above if you’re invited to meet with us online as part of the selection process.
