UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) procured large-format point-of-sale printed materials and related printed products, primarily for its events team. The requirement covers the production of print assets where quality and delivery times are critical to event activity. This is a goods procurement rather than a service or works contract. Delivery is required across the United Kingdom. The buyer is a public authority based in Coventry. The requirement was arranged as a single package and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. Suppliers operating in commercial printing, large-format production and the manufacture or supply of event point-of-sale materials would be aligned with the subject matter of this procurement. The work supports AHDB’s event communications and on-site promotional needs.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. FINE PRINT (SERVICES) LIMITED was selected as the supplier for the single package. The award is valued at £37,500 excluding VAT and £45,000 including VAT. The planned contract period runs from 28 February 2027 to 31 August 2028. Contract signature is scheduled for 1 February 2027. The award covers printed matter and related products under CPV 22000000. The award record shows the supplier’s award status as pending, while the tender itself is marked complete. The process therefore records a selected supplier and an agreed award value, with the contract period and signature milestone set out for the arrangement.

This procurement indicates recurring demand from AHDB for reliable large-format point-of-sale print supporting events across the UK. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate strong commercial printing and production capability, including the capacity to supply event assets at the required scale and to meet time-critical delivery schedules. Consistent print quality is central to the requirement, so suppliers should be able to evidence effective quality control and dependable finishing, packing and distribution arrangements. Experience of producing point-of-sale or event materials for organisations with coordinated UK-wide requirements would strengthen a supplier’s position. The direct-award route used here also shows that the buyer has previously sourced this requirement without competition below the applicable threshold.
