Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of specialist paper, conducted by the Corporate Officer of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, has reached its completion stage with an active contract. The procurement was aimed at supplying specialist papers and packaging materials for digital printing, crucial for the operations of both houses. Located in London, this process was conducted under the UKPGA 2023/54 legal framework and utilised a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition. The contract, starting on 15 November 2025 and concluding on 14 September 2026, was signed on 10 November 2025, valuing a total of £55,900, exclusive of VAT.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of printing paper, specifically suited for digital printing environments. Companies like Premier Paper Group Ltd, a large-scale supplier, successfully secured the contract by fitting the requirements for specialist paper supply in the central government sector. Businesses that can provide high-quality goods efficiently and reliably, even in smaller-scale procurement processes, could find substantial opportunities to grow and secure similar government or public authority contracts. Competitors in the printing paper industry, particularly those catering to enterprises with stringent printing needs, should find this domain particularly rewarding.
