PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Fife procured printed pre-operative assessment booklets for use in its healthcare services. The requirement was for 4,800 copies of a pre-operative assessment booklet, supplied in 600 packs of eight. Each booklet is A4 size, measuring 297mm by 210mm, and printed on 80gsm white carbon-balanced bond paper. The specification requires full-colour printing throughout, with the sheets collated, folded and saddle stitched before being boxed in packs of 600. This is a goods procurement for printed matter and related products, classified under CPV 22000000. The awarded supplier is based in East Kilbride, while NHS Fife is the buying organisation. The requirement is therefore suited to commercial printers able to produce, finish, pack and supply healthcare documents to a defined specification.

This procurement has reached the award stage: NHS Fife selected MBM Print & SCS Ltd as supplier. The award value is £826 GBP for the specified booklet production. The contract is recorded as active. The process was handled as a Quick Quote award, with three bids recorded. The award covers 4,800 pre-operative assessment booklets packed into 600 packs of eight; the procurement is presented as a single requirement rather than separate lots. The evaluation outcome resulted in one supplier being awarded the work. Businesses reviewing this opportunity should note that the recorded scope is a defined print-production order, covering paper stock, full-colour output, collation, folding, saddle stitching and box packing rather than a general publishing or design service.

For a future requirement of this type, a credible supplier would need reliable commercial print production for healthcare documentation, with the capacity to deliver several thousand identical A4 booklets in a controlled batch. Relevant capability includes full-colour printing on 80gsm paper, accurate collation, folding and saddle stitching, and packing into specified quantities for straightforward distribution. Carbon-balanced paper sourcing is part of the stated product specification, so printers should be able to demonstrate suitable material procurement and consistent quality control. The award also shows that NHS Fife uses a Quick Quote route for this kind of order and that competition can involve several bidders. Firms with integrated print, finishing and packing operations are likely to be best placed for comparable work.
