Summary of the contracting process

The City of Doncaster Council has recently concluded the procurement process for a service contract titled "XL Print Software," aimed at providing print solutions for rapid print, including EDO licence and support. This contract falls under the services category, specifically programming services of packaged software products and is situated in the United Kingdom, with delivery addresses in the Yorkshire and the Humber region. The procurement method was direct, conducted below the threshold without competition, signifying a streamlined approach, and the contract is active from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2026. Notably, the contract was awarded to XL PRINT, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in London, with the contract signed on 1 December 2025 and valued at £29,000 net (£34,800 gross).

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in print and software solutions, particularly those capable of delivering programming services of packaged software products. As the City of Doncaster Council opted for a direct contract without competition, small and medium enterprises like XL PRINT have showcased their ability to secure governmental contracts through niche expertise and established relationships. Businesses already operating in the United Kingdom and those with specialisation in software development for government sectors might find similar opportunities through direct procurement processes, facilitating business growth and enhancing market presence in the public sector. As such, enterprises seeking to expand their portfolio should consider engaging with similar government projects to foster growth and innovation.
