UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by PUBLIC SECTOR PARTNERSHIP SERVICES LTD, focuses on the provision of a cloud-based hybrid printing solution, necessary for seamless migration from the current server and adding installation as required. This contract falls under the IT services industry category and focuses on the United Kingdom region, particularly in Salford. The procurement method was a direct award due to compatibility, specialist product requirements, and the need for continuity in statutory functions. The procurement stage reached completion with the award decision dated 10th February 2026, and the contract is set to last from 3rd March 2026 to 3rd March 2031. This strategic decision was made to mitigate the risk of service disruption and to secure a migration slot before the end-of-support deadline in March 2027.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those capable of providing proprietary and compatible printing solutions. Companies with expertise in consulting, software development, and support that can ensure seamless integration are ideal competitors for similar tenders. Given the focus on transparent and specialist service provision, businesses that have exclusive rights or technical expertise in proprietary systems stand to gain considerable growth, especially those looking to establish a long-term presence in governmental IT service sectors. The contract, awarded to XLPrint, marks a significant business opportunity due to a gross contract value of £234,000, reflecting both reliability and promising returns for companies in this domain.
