UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Westminster City Council has completed a procurement process for the contract titled "BT226 - Notice Publications," which involves the publication of statutory notices in Westminster's distributed newspapers. The contract is classified under the services industry category and is specifically related to digital printing services. The procurement method used was a direct procurement approach, signifying it was below the threshold and conducted without competition. This contract commenced on 1st November 2025 and is scheduled to end on 31st October 2027, with the total contract value amounting to £118,800. The main procurement stage is completed, with the award being active as of 20th October 2025.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for small to medium enterprises (SMEs), particularly those specialising in digital printing services. Engaging with a prominent public authority like Westminster City Council can strengthen business portfolios and expand market reach. Since the procurement method was direct, it indicates a less competitive environment, providing an advantageous position for businesses that can provide niche, specialised services efficiently. Enterprises positioned to fulfil similar service contracts should consider building relationships with local councils to secure future opportunities.
