Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured printed operation registers. Each book contains 125 leaves, equivalent to 500 pages, and is intended for hospital operational record-keeping. This is a supply of printed stationery rather than a clinical service or a general printing requirement. The registers are delivered in Cambridge. The contract concerns one lot and one type of printed product, so the requirement is focused on producing and supplying bound register books for the Trust.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Harlow Printing Limited, trading as Harlow Solutions. The contract was signed on 13 October 2026, with a period running from 20 October 2026 to 19 January 2027. Its value is £27,715.36 excluding VAT (£33,258.43 including VAT). The requirement was handled as a below-threshold procurement; the procedure is not further identified. The process covered one lot. No evaluation criteria or eligibility conditions are recorded in the available procurement details.

For future requirements of this kind, a credible supplier would need to produce printed operational registers to a defined book format, including 125 leaves and 500 pages per book, and deliver them to a hospital in Cambridge. The award demonstrates demand from Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for a defined, physical stationery product, rather than a broader printing service. Suppliers with dependable print production, finishing and fulfilment capability suited to repeatable register specifications would be relevant competitors. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this requirement was delivered by a small business; the scale is consistent with a focused supply contract rather than a large, multi-lot programme.
