## Summary

The United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) has initiated a tender process for the "Supply of Interim Call Off Printing Services," with a total value of £1,920,000. This procurement falls under the printing services category and is based in Scotland, UK. Currently at the award stage, the contract will commence on 18th February 2020 and is set to run until 17th August 2020, with the possibility of a six-month extension. The tender period closed on 6th February 2020.

This contract offers an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in printing and finishing services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies that can confidently provide interim printing solutions and are adept at adapting to short-term contractual arrangements would be well-positioned to compete. This engagement not only supports the UKHO during a critical transition but also allows businesses to showcase their capabilities in a competitive market.

## Notice

These are interim call off contracts arrangements for six months duration (with option to extend by up to a further six months), for printing and finishing services, for the UKHO. These contracts are being set up, as part of business critical strategies being put in place by the UKHO, following its previous key printing and supplier going into administration, in late 2019. These contracts are also being put in place to provide the UKHO with the period and opportunity to be able to re-compete the full publication printing, finishing and fulfilment services.
