Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council has procured a folding machine service under its Quadient 2026–2029 requirement. The procurement is categorised as a service, with folding machines identified as the subject. Delivery is associated with Yorkshire and the Humber. The award went to Quadient UK Ltd. This is a buyer-specific requirement for businesses providing folding machine services, rather than a general purchase of unspecified office equipment; the stated scope is limited to the folding machine category. The council is the buyer, and the contract provides a reference point for suppliers whose services and equipment support this type of requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Quadient UK Ltd on 23 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £339,404.58. The contract period runs from 29 September 2026 to 28 September 2029. The council used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 28 September 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was classed as a service and was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No separate evaluation criteria or lot breakdown are stated in the procurement details.

For suppliers who did not win, this award demonstrates Leeds City Council’s demand for folding machine services through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to supply or support folding machines and deliver the associated service reliably for a multi-year council contract. The selected supplier was a large business, so competitors should be able to demonstrate capacity to meet an institutional buyer’s requirements at comparable scale. Experience in public-sector framework call-offs and the ability to provide consistent service over the contract term would be commercially relevant. The procurement does not set out specific technical standards, accreditations or service-level requirements, so there is no basis to claim that any particular certification or specialist capability was decisive.
