Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has completed a procurement process titled "DWP Print Management," aiming to provide core business print products and mailing campaigns. This award, using a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement, is under the industry category of printing services. The value of the contract is £19,280,000 and was awarded on 18th November 2025 to HH Associates Limited. The contract covers services across the United Kingdom, with a contract period starting on the award date and ending on 30th June 2028. The procurement stage is noted as 'Award', marking the completion of the tender process.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in printing services, particularly those capable of managing large-scale print and dispatch operations. While this specific contract does not cater to small and medium enterprises or voluntary, community, and social enterprises, businesses with significant resource capacity in the printing industry would find such opportunities beneficial for substantial revenue avenues. Companies looking to expand their portfolio in public sector contracts and those with the infrastructure to handle complex print management requirements would be well-suited to compete for similar future tenders.
