Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The West Midlands Combined Authority has recently concluded a procurement process titled "RfQ for Printing of Booklets," aimed at securing printing services for Mayoral Elections. This selective tender was issued under a restricted procedure, targeting a small number of invited print providers due to critical turnaround times and an estimated spend below the OJEU threshold. The tender period ended on 14th February 2017, and the contract period began on 1st March 2017, lasting until 31st May 2017. The procurement was classified under the printing services category and the total contract value was £150,000.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating in the printing industry to engage in public procurement. Companies capable of delivering high-quality printing with quick turnaround capabilities will find this a suitable competition. Given the specificity of the requirement for printed materials associated with Mayoral Elections, businesses that can demonstrate reliability and expertise in similar projects will be well-positioned to leverage this opportunity for growth.
