Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract titled "DAERA - MC2 and SG2 Movement Non Carbon (NCR) serialised books" was initiated by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, located in Belfast, United Kingdom. The main goal was to provide movement notification documents that support the Cattle Identification requirements in Northern Ireland. The process followed an open procedure and moved through the award stage on 2nd October 2025, with a contract period starting on 17th September 2025 and potentially extending until 2030. The procurement falls under the "goods" category, specifically focusing on printed books, brochures, and related services. The procurement was overseen by the CPD - Supplies & Services Division, ensuring compliance with Northern Irish devolved regulations.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) involved in printing and related services, as evidenced by the participation and success of The Pierce Partnership Limited. Given the scope and value, amounting to an estimated gross of £480,000, the tender offers a robust platform for SMEs aiming to expand within the public sector. The potential 24-month contract extension further provides businesses with an extended period of revenue continuity, fostering long-term business growth and stability in the public procurement landscape. Being part of this tender could enhance exposure and establish a supplier’s reputation within the industry, particularly for those situated in Northern Ireland or the UK generally.
