Summary of the contracting process

Alder Hey procured outpatient vinyls, visual materials and their installation. The requirement is classified as printing and related services, covering the production of branded or informational visual materials and fitting them in place. Delivery covered locations across England, including the North West, North East, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buying organisation is Alder Hey, an NHS public authority based in Liverpool. This is a service requirement rather than a supply-only purchase: relevant businesses would need to combine print production with the practical installation of vinyls and visual displays. The scope may suit specialist printers, display and signage companies, or design and marketing businesses with installation capability.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold procedure. It comprised one lot. Kaleidoscope Advertising Design Marketing Ltd was awarded the contract on 5 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract is active from 6 August 2026 to 4 September 2026. Its value is £11,940 excluding VAT, or £14,328 including VAT. The award covers the outpatient vinyls, visuals and installation service. The published procurement information does not set out an award criterion or a detailed evaluation weighting. This outcome identifies the buyer’s chosen supplier, the short delivery period and the scale of spend for the requirement.

This award indicates demand from Alder Hey for a combined print, visual-design and installation service supporting outpatient settings. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to produce vinyls and related visual materials to a consistent professional standard, translate artwork or design requirements into finished displays, and install them safely and accurately on site. The work is geographically broad, so suppliers should be able to coordinate delivery and installation across England rather than only at one local site. The selected supplier is an SME operating in advertising, design and marketing, showing that a smaller specialist business can satisfy this type of public-sector requirement. Relevant experience should therefore combine print production, visual communications, signage or display work, and dependable installation delivery.
