Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by the Cheshire Fire Authority, identified as a public authority within sub-central government, involves the production of "Safe and Well Booklets". This service falls under the industry category of "Printing and related services" and is set to be delivered in the region of Cheshire, United Kingdom. The tender process proceeded through a limited procurement method, indicating a competition below the standard threshold. The contract, awarded to Johnson's Printers, is documented to commence on 7 April 2026 and is expected to run until 6 April 2028, with the possibility of a 12-month extension. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026, and its gross value is £57,600.

This procurement presents valuable opportunities for businesses in the printing services sector, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of large-scale printing projects. The limited competition method often suggests that businesses with specific expertise or previous experience with governmental contracts could be at an advantage. The project, entailing repeated booklet production over a potential three-year period, offers stability and potential for business growth, especially for suppliers with a capability for consistent delivery and quality assurance. Firms located in or near the region could especially benefit from proximity advantages in logistical execution.
