Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by the City of Doncaster Council, focused on the "Supply of pre-printed envelopes" within the printing services industry category. This process, identified as ocid "ocds-h6vhtk-05a1a3", took place in the region of UKE31 in the United Kingdom and has progressed to the award stage as of 25th September 2025. The procurement method chosen was direct, allowing for a below-threshold, non-competitive approach, resulting in the award of a contract to Encore Envelopes, a large supplier from Tyne and Wear, UK. The contract, which is valued at £54,000 gross and spans from 20th September 2025 to 19th September 2028, supports local governmental needs for printed envelopes across standard to custom sizes.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in bespoke printing services, particularly those capable of providing customised pre-printed materials like envelopes. Companies with established capabilities in graphic design, printing technology, or those seeking to expand their market reach in public sector contracts could benefit from similar procurement opportunities. While the procurement has been completed and closed in this instance, businesses with competitive offerings in particular services or goods related to governmental and public authority requirements should stay vigilant for future tenders issued by local councils such as the City of Doncaster, which require bespoke and agile supply capabilities.
