UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Fast Growth Cities," managed by Oxford City Council, has reached the award and contract stage, focusing on services within the newspapers, journals, periodicals, and paper-production machinery installation sectors. This tender, initiated as a limited competition under the UKPGA 2023 legislation, aims to highlight the investment opportunities present in the Growth Corridor and Fast Growth Cities, aligning with the government's Growth Mission. Key roles in this process were played by Milton Keynes City Council and Swindon Borough Council as procuring entities. The contract, valued at £62,500 gross, was signed with Stonehaven Global Holdings (Public First) and is active from 22 September 2025 to 31 March 2026, with potential for a one-month extension, covering the UKJ1 region in the UK.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses that specialise in providing high-quality services within the publishing and paper-production machinery sectors. Firms capable of delivering strategic insights into governmental growth missions and those experienced in managing influential projects across sub-central government authorities stand to benefit. SMEs like Stonehaven Global Holdings, with a proven track record in delivering tailored solutions to public sector initiatives, would be particularly well-suited to compete and leverage the business expansion potential in the context of fast-growing city projects and governmental priorities. Such projects not only promise financial growth but also enhance a company's profile and influence within the public sector procurement landscape.
