Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Outsourcing Outbound Print and Post Services" was conducted by the London and Quadrant Housing Trust (L&Q), which is a body governed by public law. Categorised under "Printing and distribution services," the procurement initially moved through a tender stage and subsequently reached completion with an award. Located primarily in the UK, this project aims to have services operational before the closure of Cray House in March 2025. The process utilized a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure, compliant with the relevant procurement regulations. Key dates from the tender process include an end date for tender submissions on 2 January 2025, with further invitations expected on 21 January 2025. The overall contract was signed on 11 September 2025, valued at £600,000 GBP, involving the supplier Integrity Print Ltd. trading as Integrity Connect.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in printing and distribution services, especially larger companies capable of handling significant outbound printing volumes, estimated at 600,000 units annually. The requirement for the service to be operational before a specific deadline indicates potential for growth in service commitments. Additionally, businesses looking at future renewals could find long-term engagement prospects. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) also showed interest, with five bids recorded from this segment. However, achieving scale and swift operational delivery would be key for competitive positioning in a bid process governed by criteria focused heavily on price. The successful engagement of large suppliers like Integrity Connect underscores the preference for well-established entities capable of delivering complex service requirements efficiently.
