## Summary

The recent tender titled "APHA SAM" issued by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, located in London, England, relates to the supply of printed matter and related products. This procurement, classified under CPV code 22000000, is at the award stage, having been published following a direct procurement method classified as a single tender action (below threshold). The contract period spans from 26 May 2021 to 26 May 2022, with the tender period concluding on 25 May 2021.

This opportunity presents significant potential for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to engage with the public sector.

The contract value of approximately £400,000 signifies a promising business avenue for qualified suppliers aiming to expand their portfolios in public sector contracts.

## Notice

The APHA requirement for print output from the IBM SAM database is quite specific and unique and dependent on interfaces architected by IBM 5. All other print work is contracted for under a separate call off contract for Defra to include RPA, APHA and EA.
