## Summary

The University of Bath has recently completed a procurement process for the "Provision of Print Services," identified under the CPV classification for printed matter and related products. This contract, with a total value of £725,000, was awarded following a selective procurement method using a restricted procedure. The procurement process was initiated on 21st October 2015 and concluded on 21st October 2017, primarily servicing the South West region of the UK. The tender period concluded on 13th October 2015, marking the final deadline for submissions.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses within the printing and publishing sector to grow, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering bespoke printed services. Companies specialising in printed materials like brochures, books, and other related products would be well-suited to compete, as the contract has already engaged large suppliers but also encourages participation from smaller firms that can offer tailored solutions. With a high contract value and a need for quality print services, entities with innovation in print technology and execution stand to benefit significantly from such public sector contracts.
