Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council has concluded the procurement process for "Catalogue Production Outsourcing", focusing on the outsourcing of catalogue production for the years 2026-2029. This procurement, under the industry categories of catalogues and publishing services, was completed through a limited competition approach due to its below-threshold nature. The tender reached its award stage on 10th June 2025, with the contract period scheduled from 1st August 2025 to 31st January 2029. The procurement activities are located in the UK's South East region, specifically Winchester.

This contract award presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for suppliers in the publishing and catalogue production sectors. As the procurement was carried out through limited competition and targeted small to medium-sized enterprises, businesses with expertise in publishing services and the ability to deliver innovative solutions for catalogue production would be well-suited to compete in such tenders. Such contracts can enhance business credibility and create potential for long-term partnerships with sub-central government entities like Hampshire County Council.
