## Summary

The "Payout Services" contract involves the Post Office Limited, a central government authority located in London, United Kingdom, which has engaged Zunoma Limited for secure print services. This procurement falls within the industry category of services related to printing and digital processing, specifically targeting security-type printed matter. The procurement process was conducted through a direct award due to technical reasons that necessitate Zunoma Limited as the sole provider capable of delivering the services within the required timeframe. This contract pertains to a period from 1 June 2025 to 31 May 2026. The procurement process is in the award stage, represented by the contract signed on 3 June 2025, and holds a gross value of £960,000.

This contract offers robust opportunities for businesses involved in digital and security-type printing services, especially those able to provide integrated online systems that connect with large-scale operations like the Post Office. Given the direct award approach, firms already possessing technical compatibility with existing systems stand a considerable chance. Smaller and medium enterprises (SMEs), particularly those with experience serving public authorities at the central government level, could find long-term partnership potential as the sector shifts towards more digital integration and printing solutions.

### Procurement Information

The proposed direct award contract to Zunoma Limited ("ZL") for certain secure print services (the "Services") will be made on the basis of paragraph 41(1) and Schedule 5 paragraph 6 of the Procurement Act 2023. During the period of 6-12 months from 1 June 2025, there is an absence of competition for technical reasons such that only ZL can provide the Services and there is no reasonable alternative to ZL. It would not be possible to compete the provision of the Services in the immediate short term. Post Office has competitively procured a contract for the services (the "Procurement"); however, the conclusion of the Procurement has been delayed. ZL is the current provider of the services and is the only organisation that is currently mobilised to provide the services in accordance with Post Office and its clients' business processes. To ensure that the services continue to be provided in the period before Post Office is able to conclude the procurement exercise and mobilise the new contract, Post Office must award a contract to ZL. ZL is the only organisation capable of providing the Services in the immediate future because it is the only supplier that currently has a portal that is linked to all of the Post Office systems. On conclusion of the Procurement, the new contract would require time to mobilise, including development of a secure portal that links to Post Office's existing systems. In addition, the new contract would need to on board the Post Office's clients. There is no other supplier that currently has the arrangements in place to provide the Services. There is no reasonable alternative to ZL to provide the Services during the 6-12 month period from 1 June 2025 before the new contract has mobilised
