Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice, located in London at 102 Petty France, is currently in the planning stage for procuring high-volume offsite print services. The procurement is classified under the services category, specifically targeting mailing and printing equipment and software. This initiative, titled "High Volume Offsite Print (HVOP)", is part of a larger requirement to support the Ministry's diverse operational needs throughout its offices across the United Kingdom. Business entities interested in engaging with this opportunity should note that the RFI process is ongoing with a submission deadline of 27th February 2026, while the procurement process is anticipated to commence around June or July 2026. The estimated contract period is slated to begin on 1st September 2027, running until 30th June 2032. All communications are conducted via the MoJ e-sourcing portal.

This procurement opens significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in mailing services, printing, and document management systems. Firms with capabilities in providing a hybrid mail solution, secure offsite document production, and effective document management software development services would be particularly well-suited to compete. The procurement’s substantial estimated value of £251.6 million offers a lucrative prospect for suppliers equipped to deliver comprehensive postal and telecommunications services. Engaging in this tender can also lead to long-term partnerships with the Ministry of Justice, providing consistent demand for high-volume print and mailing services to support over 90,000 users across more than 1,000 different buildings in the UK.
