Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process was initiated by the Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust for the procurement of printed stationery, which includes a range of printed materials essential for clinical and operational services. The tender was awarded to Continuous Dataprint (U.K.) Limited on 22 June 2026, with a contract value of £71,723.90 excluding VAT for a one-year period. This contract, categorised under 'goods', covers extensive regions across the United Kingdom and required no competitive bidding as it was conducted below the threshold, involving a direct procurement method. The entire process concluded successfully with the contract's active status confirmed on 29 July 2026.

This tender presents a growth opportunity primarily for suppliers specialising in the production and management of printed materials, particularly within the healthcare sector. Businesses that offer stock management, printing, storage, and delivery services will find this type of contract lucrative due to the continuous demand for hospital stationery. Small and medium-sized enterprises, especially those already familiar with NHS requirements, would be well-suited to pursue similar procurement opportunities in the future, as the need for streamlined supply chain solutions in healthcare persists.
