UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council is procuring print and distribution services for its environmental services materials. The work covers printing, delivery and distribution of council materials within the Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council area. It is a public-sector services requirement rather than a goods supply or construction project. The relevant service classifications are printing and related services, printing and delivery services, and printing and distribution services. Suppliers should therefore be able to combine production of printed materials with their delivery and distribution across the council area. The buying organisation is Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council, based in Craigavon. The requirement is arranged as one service lot covering the full stated scope.

The process reached tender: the council invited offers through an open competition below the relevant threshold. Enquiries had to be submitted by 7 August 2026 at 12:00, and offers had to be submitted by 14 August 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 September 2026 to 30 November 2026. The gross estimated value is £108,000 for the single lot. Offers are evaluated on methodology and approach, weighted at 50%, contract management, weighted at 20%, and price, weighted at 30%. This means the proposed delivery approach and how the supplier will manage the contract together carry greater weight than price. The council has set one lot for the requirement.

This opportunity suits a supplier with an established printing operation and the ability to manage delivery and distribution of council materials across the Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council area. Strong candidates will be able to present a clear, workable methodology for producing and distributing the required materials, including how activities will be coordinated from print through to delivery. Experience in contract management is commercially important because it forms a separate part of the evaluation, while the approach to delivery carries the greatest weighting overall. The requirement may suit print businesses with in-house distribution, as well as distribution providers partnering with a capable printer. Suppliers should be prepared to submit electronically and demonstrate reliable operational capacity for the full service lot.
