Summary of the contracting process

The Office for National Statistics has completed a public procurement process titled "Provision of Specialist Paper and Envelopes", focusing on the industry category of printing paper. This selective procurement method was conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with a key contract period running from 10th April 2025 to 9th April 2028. The procurement took place in Newport, Wales, with the tender period culminating on 28th February 2025. The estimated value of the contract is £3,000,000 GBP.

This tender presents significant opportunities for large businesses capable of supplying specialist paper and related products, given the high value of the contract. However, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find the tender less suitable due to the scale and specific procurement method. The successful supplier is Allied Publicity Services (Manchester) Ltd, a large-scale entity, indicating the need for substantial production capacity and industry expertise to successfully compete in this process.
