Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Managed Print Services" has been successfully completed by the Department for Business and Trade, operating from Old Admiralty Building, Whitehall, London. The industry category is "Printing and related services," and the tender was conducted in the form of a call-off from a framework agreement, which is a selective procurement method. The contract encompasses both domestic and international delivery locations, including the United Kingdom, British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the Rest of the World. The tender period concluded on 17th September 2025, with the award finalised on 2nd February 2026, leading to a contract period from 26th January 2026 to 25th January 2028. The contract value is set at GBP 2,400,000.

This managed print services contract represents a substantial business opportunity for companies involved in the print and related services sector, especially those capable of servicing multiple geographical locations. While the contract has been awarded to Allied Publicity Services (Manchester) Limited, similar tender opportunities in the future would typically suit medium to large scale enterprises that can leverage framework agreements and meet the diverse operational demand across various regions. SMEs will find it challenging unless they scale operations or form partnerships to meet such extensive service requirements.
