Summary of the contracting process

NHS Fife procured the printing, packaging, storage and on-demand delivery of its MS2842 Initial Nursing Assessment and Patient Care Record. The existing form was updated and is an A4 portrait document of 19 pages, printed in four-colour process on 90gsm white offset paper. Finishing includes folding, gathering, double-wire stitching, trimming and drilling two holes on the left-hand side. The supplier holds the stock and supplies it when requested. The requirement is for 10,000 documents, packed in boxes of 100, with no other box size accepted. Any existing stock was to be purchased from the incumbent supplier. The goods are for NHS Fife, whose listed address is Queen Margaret Hospital in Dunfermline. The relevant category is printed matter and related products (CPV 22000000).

The procurement has been awarded. J Thomson Colour Printers was selected, and the contract is recorded as active. Three bids were reported. The award date and contract period are not recorded in the process data; the contract was signed on 10 December 2026. The awarded value is £2,200. This was a goods procurement for the specified printing and supply requirement. The process data does not describe a lot structure, eligibility requirements, an evaluation method or award criteria, so there is no basis to characterise how bids were assessed beyond the reported number of bids and the named awardee.

This award demonstrates NHS Fife’s demand for a managed print supply, not just a one-off print run: the supplier must produce a detailed, multi-page clinical form to a defined paper, colour and finishing specification, hold boxed stock, and fulfil ad hoc draw-down deliveries. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need suitable colour-printing and finishing capacity, reliable stock storage, and the ability to pack and dispatch in fixed quantities of 100. The previous award also shows that the requirement concerns an updated document and that incumbent stock may be bought as part of the arrangement. Printers with experience delivering controlled, repeatable document production and responsive supply to a healthcare buyer are therefore best placed to compete when this requirement returns to market.
