Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough Council has completed the procurement process titled "R068 - Design and print of waste and recycling information for Middlesbrough households." This process falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on business services like law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. Located in the UK region of UKC12, this procurement stage is in the Award phase. The procurement method was direct, conducted below the threshold without competition. Key dates include the contract start date on 30th October 2025, running until 30th September 2027, with a total contract value of £80,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in design and printing services, particularly those catering to public awareness campaigns and educational materials. Although this specific contract was awarded to Q Design Limited, a large-scale supplier based in Middlesbrough, similar businesses in the sector can explore future opportunities as the Council frequently updates and changes public information materials, potentially leading to recurring contracts for capable providers. Companies well-versed in communications and public information design, with the ability to deliver comprehensive service solutions, would be especially well-suited for such opportunities in the council's upcoming initiatives.
