Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Progress Housing Group Limited procured corporate print and mail services for its group. The requirement covers hybrid print and mailing services, combining physical corporate printing with the preparation and distribution of mail. It is a service contract delivered across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buying organisation is a public-law body in the housing and community amenities sector, based in Leyland. The requirement is classified primarily as electronic mail services, with mailing services also identified. This is relevant to print management companies, commercial printers and mailing specialists able to provide an integrated print-and-post service across a geographically dispersed housing group.

The procurement is complete and has resulted in an active award and contract. It used a limited procedure as a call-off from a compliant framework, without a prior call for competition; framework suppliers were assessed and their pricing evaluated. Price was the stated award criterion. Twenty bids were recorded. The contract was awarded to PSL Print Management Ltd, an SME, and the contract was signed on 4 September 2026. Its value is £750,000. The published outcome relates to the hybrid corporate print and mail requirement. Progress Housing Group Limited is the buyer. The contracting process records the award as active and the contract as active, so this is an outcome notice rather than a current invitation to submit bids.

This outcome provides a clear benchmark for suppliers serving housing organisations with combined print and mailing requirements. A credible competitor would need to manage the full workflow from corporate print production through to mailing and distribution, rather than offering printing or postal services in isolation. The requirement also indicates the importance of serving locations across England, so suppliers need operating arrangements, fulfilment capacity or delivery partnerships that can support a broad geographic footprint. Pricing was decisive in the evaluation, making disciplined cost control and transparent framework pricing commercially important. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that the scale and delivery model can be within reach of an established smaller print-management business with the necessary production, mailing and account-management capability.
