## Summary

The Imperial War Museums (IWM) has concluded an open tender procurement process for the provision of printing services for its range of guidebooks. This contract, classified under "Printing and related services" (CPV 79800000), has been awarded to Belmont Press Ltd, a large-scale supplier based in Northampton. The guidebooks cover all five IWM museums and include three children's guidebooks, to be available across various locations including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom. The contract's value is £480,000 GBP, and it covers the period from 1st November 2024 to 31st October 2026.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses within the printing industry, especially those capable of managing large-scale, high-quality print runs. The awarded contract to Belmont Press Ltd highlights the prospect for substantial business growth through long-term, stable engagements with prestigious institutions like the IWM. Companies geared towards providing tailored, multi-version printing solutions and who can handle tight batching schedules will find this contract beneficial. Additionally, this process confirms the suitability and potential for SMEs and VCSEs to engage in such public procurement exercises.

## Notice

IWM is tendering for a supplier to print the full range of the official IWM guidebooks for all five museums and three children's guidebooks. The guidebooks will be available for purchase all of IWM admissions desks and gift shops across five sites. Each guidebook version is the same specification and pagination, but artwork will be different for each version. Each version will be produced as a separate order, however if schedules allow, we will batch more than one version together for production.
