Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Supply of bespoke chart paper" was conducted by the UK Hydrographic Office. Based in Taunton, this central government public authority executed an open procurement procedure culminating in a contract award on 10 June 2026. The scope involved the manufacture, storage, and supply of bespoke watermarked paper, targeting the goods sector, specifically printing paper and paper for maps, with it set to be delivered within the UK, particularly in the UKK23 region. The tender, identified as ocds-h6vhtk-067428, concluded successfully with a contract active from 9 June 2026 to 7 June 2030. The total contract was valued at £1,800,000, with a gross total of £2,216,000.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in paper manufacturing, especially those equipped to produce high-quality watermarked materials. Companies similar to Antalis Limited, the awarded supplier for this contract, stand to benefit greatly, especially if they possess the infrastructure for large-scale production and distribution. Moreover, with a framework agreement in place, the procuring method allows for called-off services without reopening competition, which may favor established firms with competitive pricing models. The emphasis on technical compliance and quality standards further indicates suitability for businesses committed to high-quality manufacturing practices and efficient logistic capabilities.
