Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow City Council has recently concluded the procurement process for the "Provision of Publishing, Print, Design and Associated Services" contract, classified under general public services. The procurement method used was an open procedure, applicable to services within the Glasgow region, specifically UKM82. The contract reached the award stage on 23rd March 2026, with a significant focus on delivering a fully managed service for publishing, print, design, and associated services. This contract, with an active status, was signed on 24th February 2026, carrying a value of £5,992,328 GBP. The buyer, Glasgow City Council, ensures compliance with Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, allowing sufficient standstill periods post-award announcement to entertain challenges or disputes.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for growth within the publishing and design industry, presenting potential for businesses offering innovative solutions in print and design services. With APS Group (Scotland) Ltd awarded the contract, small to medium enterprises may find prospects in subcontracting, provided they adhere to prompt payment conditions. Companies capable of delivering services like consultancy in design, comprehensive asset publishing, artwork formatting, and print solutions will be well-suited to compete in similar future procurements.
