UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The latest public procurement process for the Warwick District Council involves an extensive Printing Products and Services Framework. This framework addresses various public sector printing needs across multiple lots, focusing on flexibility, sustainability, and innovation. The framework supports robust contract management with KPI reporting to ensure value and quality alignment with organisational goals. Managed by CPRAS, the framework embodies an open procurement method, encouraging buyers to adjust weightings to meet local needs and policies. The procurement stage is currently complete, with key contracts having been signed in October 2025, extending until October 2033. Key industry categories include printed matter and office supplies, with deliveries situated across the United Kingdom. The tender supports transparent selection, pricing adjustments, and ongoing contract monitoring and management.

This framework presents numerous opportunities for business growth, especially for suppliers specialising in printed matter and related products, including bespoke options, photocopying equipment, and ink sources. It is well-suited for SMEs due to the granular weighting system that aligns suppliers with specific lots, fostering competitive pricing and emphasis on high-quality services. Businesses focusing on sustainability can leverage their contributions to carbon reduction and social value, in line with procurement goals. The framework provides a platform to showcase printing innovation and alignment with local priorities, suitable for those offering FSC-certified products or having robust data management for procurement transparency. With potential for ongoing supply chain engagement, it offers a pathway for businesses to expand their services in the public sector and adapt to diverse procurement demands.

Mailing Services

We are seeking potential suppliers of end-to-end outbound-communication solutions that allow public bodies to merge personalised print with digital alternatives, assemble packs at scale, apply intelligent sortation for postal discounts and trace every item from data receipt to letterbox. Your service should provide secure data transfer, Royal-Mail-compliant production, in-flight channel-switching (print - SMS / email) and carbon-footprint reporting so officers can reduce spend, improve engagement and evidence emissions reductions.

Secure Printing

We are seeking potential suppliers of physically and procedurally secure printing capable of producing examination materials, patient records, electoral ballots and other mission-critical documents to strict confidentiality standards. Facilities must hold relevant ISO 27001 / CPNI accreditation, manage encrypted pre-press workflows, incorporate overt and covert anti-fraud features such as holograms or microtext, and maintain auditable chain-of-custody right through to locked-cage delivery - ensuring authorities can discharge their statutory duties without risk of data compromise.

Secure Digital Printing

We are seeking potential suppliers of ultra-secure, variable-data digital print that combines high-definition output with real-time encryption, on-press barcode / QR validation and web-triggered reprint controls. Outcomes include rapid turnaround of individually tailored letters, certificates and permits, fully assured against interception or tampering, with API links to authority CRM systems and automated evidencing of GDPR compliance.

Bulk Paper Supply

We are seeking potential suppliers of consolidated paper-supply solutions that harness the collective volume of framework users to drive down costs and environmental impact. Required outcomes encompass just-in-time delivery of FSC-certified, recycled and speciality stocks, price-stability mechanisms linked to pulp indices, real-time inventory dashboards and carbon-balanced procurement that helps both print suppliers and contracting authorities meet Net-Zero targets.

Energy Reduction Services

We are seeking potential suppliers of outcome-based energy-reduction programmes for print environments - from granular metering and AI-driven scheduling of presses to LED-lighting retrofits, heat-recovery systems and renewable-power sourcing. Solutions should deliver guaranteed kWh and CO2e savings, provide ESOS / SECR-ready reporting, and offer financing or gain-share models so that authorities and framework suppliers alike can decarbonise operations with minimal capital outlay.
