Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council has successfully completed a procurement process for the supply of specialised paper and wide format media. This tender catered primarily to the printing paper industry, aiming to appoint contractors capable of supplying specialist digital papers and wide format media to Fife Council’s central print unit, the primary contact point for print-related services. The process consisted of an open procedure, indicating transparency and fair competition for suppliers. The procurement involved three lots, including carbonless paper, A3, A4 coloured copier paper, SRA3 digital paper, and wide format media. These contracts were awarded in March 2026, with the council located in Glenrothes, UKM72 region, driving this initiative for general public services.

This contracting process not only opens avenues for business expansion into the public procurement domain but also offers a valuable opportunity for suppliers specialising in digital and wide format print media. Fife Council has collaborated with Premier Paper Group and CPP Trading Group Ltd, both occupying supplier roles, to fulfil these contracts, allowing for diverse supply chain options. Ideal contenders for similar tenders would be businesses skilled in producing specialised printing paper, with a firm understanding of quality and cost-effectiveness, as this tender prioritises these criteria in their award selections. Small to medium enterprises can significantly benefit, especially if they focus on digital innovations within the print industry.
