Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire County Council procured print management services under its framework for the provision of print management services, covering a Year 4, Quarter 4 call-off. The requirement is classified as printing services, with related services connected to printing. It is a services contract intended to support the council’s printing and associated print-management needs. Delivery information covers Staffordshire, including the West Midlands, and also lists the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and the rest of the world. This is therefore relevant to print-management providers able to support a public-sector customer across a broad geographic footprint.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award decision was made on 7 June 2022. PSL Print Management Limited was awarded three recorded call-offs: £72,226.95 for 1 February to 30 April 2023; £44,210 for 1 May to 31 July 2023; and £106,823.23 for 22 to 31 July 2026. The wider tender records the final call-off as Year 4, Quarter 4, with a contract period of 22 to 31 July 2026 and a tender deadline of 30 April 2026 at noon. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.

This award shows sustained demand from Staffordshire County Council for managed printing and related services delivered through a framework call-off route. A credible future competitor would need to provide end-to-end print management, coordinate production and associated printing services, and handle public-sector requirements across Staffordshire and potentially wider UK and international delivery destinations. The incumbent is recorded as an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller provider rather than only a large national organisation. Businesses with demonstrable print-management capacity, reliable fulfilment arrangements, and experience managing varied geographic delivery should monitor this buyer’s framework and recurring call-off requirements.
