UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Outwood Grange Academies Trust is procuring school planners and a range of printed school booklets for use across its academies. This is a goods supply requirement covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, and the East Midlands. The scope falls within printed matter and related products, including the production and supply of planners and other school publications. Suppliers would need to support an academy trust operating across several English regions, with the ability to provide consistent printed materials for its schools. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The Trust is the buying organisation and is seeking a single supplier arrangement for the full requirement.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: the Trust invited offers using an open procedure. Clarifications and submissions must be made electronically through the In-Tend education procurement portal. The deadline for enquiries was 2 September 2026 at 10:00 and the tender submission deadline was 21 September 2026 at 10:00. The contract period is 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2028, with an option, at the Trust’s discretion, to extend it to 1 November 2030. The estimated value is £395,000 excluding VAT and £474,000 including VAT. Evaluation is based on price at 70% and quality at 30%. The tender closure date was corrected by amendment.

This opportunity suits commercial printers and stationery suppliers able to design, produce and supply school planners and booklets at scale. Relevant capability includes managing varied print specifications, artwork or production workflows, proofing, finishing, packaging and reliable distribution to academies across multiple English regions. Suppliers should be able to maintain consistent quality and service levels for repeat or periodic school orders, coordinate delivery across a distributed customer base, and meet the Trust’s requirements through a single supply arrangement. The 70% price weighting makes cost control and efficient production important, while the 30% quality weighting gives scope to demonstrate print quality, materials, production methods, service management and delivery reliability. SMEs are expressly considered suitable for the requirement.
