Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

British Business Bank PLC procured printing services for its business communications and promotional materials. The scope covers standard pull-up printing, a 3m straight stretch fabric back-wall banner, business cards, a lectern sign and a four-page A4 brochure. This is a services contract for a supplier able to produce both routine printed stationery and large-format display graphics. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the buyer based in Sheffield, England. The procurement is categorised as printing services, under CPV 79810000. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the buyer’s expected supplier profile includes smaller specialist print businesses as well as larger providers.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a limited competitive quotation process below the threshold. The tender submission deadline was 3 August 2026, and the contract was awarded on that date to The Color Company (TM) Limited. The awarded value is £27,000. The contract runs from 17 August 2026 to 16 August 2029. One supplier received the award, with an active award status. The stated basis was competitive quotation, so suppliers were assessed through quotations for the specified printing requirement rather than an open tender procedure. The outcome shows a three-year requirement covering the listed print and display products for British Business Bank PLC.

This award is commercially relevant to SME print businesses with the production range and fulfilment capability to handle mixed orders: standard pull-up displays, fabric-backed exhibition graphics, business cards, lectern signage and short brochures. A credible competitor for this buyer would need reliable digital and large-format printing, accurate finishing, colour and artwork control, and the capacity to deliver different product types to a consistent standard. The requirement also suits firms able to manage branded corporate materials rather than only high-volume commodity print. The successful supplier’s SME status shows that a smaller specialist can meet the buyer’s needs, making this a useful benchmark for businesses building evidence of comparable print production and service delivery.
