UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS England has awarded a contract titled "NHS Notify Print and Fulfilment Services (Lot 1 - High Volume Business as Usual (BAU) and campaign print and fulfilment requirements)" under a selective procurement process. This contract pertains to the printing and fulfilment of high-volume business as usual and campaign-related communications, including important health-related mailings such as vaccination invitations and secondary care bookings. The contract, valued at £200 million with a gross amount of £240 million, is set within the sector of printing and related services, classified under the CPV code 79800000. Xerox (UK) Ltd, a large-scale enterprise located in Uxbridge, has been designated as the supplier, with the contract award date on 22 May 2026, and the contract period running from 8 June 2026 to 7 June 2028. The procurement process has been completed, with the standstill period for potential challenges concluding on 6 June 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in large-scale print and fulfilment services, particularly those equipped to handle government communications and campaign operations. Companies in the printing industry, particularly those with capabilities in handling secure and high-volume print tasks, would be well-positioned to engage or compete in similar future contracts. Additionally, businesses involved in logistic automation and efficient postal operations would find such contracts favourable for business expansion and establishing a foothold within public sector procurements. Furthermore, the association with a central government body like NHS England can enhance the winning supplier's credentials across the industry.
