## Summary

The Crown Commercial Service awarded a contract for the Print Marketplace 2 project, with a total value of £22,000,000 GBP. This procurement involves the provision of a self-service print platform for high-volume, low-spend print requirements across the public sector. The contract period spans from 25th June 2024 to 15th December 2028. The procurement method used was an open procedure (above threshold), and the deadline for submissions was 15th April 2024.

This tender opportunity for the Print Marketplace 2 project presents a significant commercial prospect for businesses in the printing and related services industry. Small and medium-sized enterprises as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises are particularly well-suited to compete. The Crown Commercial Service based in Liverpool is the buying organisation behind this tender. Suppliers are expected to provide a technology platform that enables real-time pricing from local printers, enhancing accessibility and choice for end users across the UK public sector.

## Notice

Crown Commercial Service (CCS) sought a self-service print platform to bring under management the high-volume, low-spend print requirements across the public sector, allowing access to a prequalified, dynamic and local supplier base who offer real-time pricing across the print landscape. This enabled end users to access the best solution for their print requirements based on variables including price and location. It was anticipated that this would be through an external-facing technology platform that provides real-time access to a vendor database of local printers who could offer dynamic pricing for customers' various print requirements. This framework had a single supplier lot and can be used by Central Government and UK public sector bodies.
