Summary of the contracting process

The UK Hydrographic Office, a central government public authority located in Taunton, UK, recently completed the procurement process for the supply of bespoke chart paper. This tender, titled "Bespoke Chart Paper Supply," falls under the goods category with specific focus on printing paper and paper for maps. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure and was awarded on 22nd May 2026. Antalis Limited was selected as the supplier, and the contract is set to start on 4th June 2026, running until 3rd June 2030. The opportunity involved a substantial contract value of £1,800,000 with a gross amount of £2,216,000 and required electronic submissions, primarily hosted on the Delta eSourcing portal.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities for companies specializing in the paper manufacturing and supply sectors. The contract involves manufacturing, storing, and supplying bespoke watermarked paper, which could appeal to large enterprises with the capability to handle specialised requirements and large-scale orders. While Antalis Limited, a large-scale operation, secured the contract, the procurement approach indicates future direct award possibilities as outlined in the Procurement Act 2023. Companies interested in entering this market should consider aligning their capabilities with technical compliance, quality business procedures, and social value offerings, as these were key criteria in this procurement.
