Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process, initiated by H M Revenue & Customs, pertains to the provision of Payable Orders Services, identified under the industry category of bespoke printed matter (CPV code: 22458000). The services involve the secure production and delivery of Payable Orders utilised by Government Banking's public sector customers across the United Kingdom. The procurement method was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and the tender process has reached the award stage, with the contract already awarded to Allied Publicity Services (Manchester) Limited. The contract spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2031, with a total value of £270,000.

This tender represents a substantial business opportunity for companies involved in the production of specialised printed materials, particularly those familiar with UK retail payment system standards. Although the contract has been awarded, it highlights the demand within the UK’s public sector for secure printed solutions, which can serve as an informational opportunity for businesses planning their growth strategy in this sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) especially may find similar tenders beneficial given their suitability criteria. Furthermore, businesses capable of engaging with framework agreements and offering innovative, secure solutions in line with national standards are well-positioned for similar future opportunities.
