## Summary

TJ Books Limited is seeking to procure specialist binding equipment through an open tender, which is currently active. The procurement is aimed at enhancing their production capacity and flexibility to accommodate a new digital printing press. The tender was published on 25th February 2021, with a deadline for submissions set for 12th March 2021. The contract, valued between £200,000 and £300,000, falls under the works category within the printed matter and related products industry. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 5th April 2021 and conclude by 31st August 2021, with the delivery required at a location in Padstow, Cornwall.

This procurement opportunity is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in manufacturing or supplying binding equipment and related technologies. Businesses capable of providing innovative solutions that enhance production efficiencies or cater to short-run high-quality print jobs may significantly benefit from this opportunity, as the investment is intended to enable TJ Books Limited to expand into new markets and improve service flexibility to existing customers.

## Notice

The company is looking to invest in a new digital book binding line. The investment will improve our production capacity and flexibility and allow us to utilise a new digital printing press that has recently been purchased. The new printing press and binding capacity will allow us to expand into new markets where short run high quality was not possible as well as increase flexibility to current customers and attract new customers.
