UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Metropolitan University is seeking suppliers for a multi-supplier agreement to provide printed materials, including books, brochures, leaflets, postcards, greeting cards and other printed matter. This is a goods procurement, covering print products rather than printing equipment or a wider communications service. Delivery is required across England, including London and the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, South East and South West. The opportunity is intended to establish supply arrangements with multiple print suppliers, giving the university access to a range of printed materials for its needs.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition under a below-threshold procedure. The tender deadline set was 24 November 2026 at 17:00 UTC. The contract is due to run from 15 February 2027 to 14 February 2030, with a possible extension to 14 February 2031. The estimated value is £125,000 excluding VAT (£150,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 50% on quality, 40% on commercial terms and 10% on social value. The tender includes selection criteria, with details in the procurement documents. Participation is reserved for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises in England.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized print businesses, as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises, that can supply a broad range of printed products and deliver across England. The multi-supplier arrangement may suit providers able to support varied print requirements rather than a single narrowly defined product. Quality carries the greatest evaluation weight, alongside commercial terms and social value, so suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate the standard and reliability of their products and service, competitive pricing, and relevant social-value contributions. The university’s procurement documents set out the detailed selection requirements and specifications. Suppliers able to meet these requirements and serve the listed English regions are the best fit.
