## Summary

Derby City Council has completed a procurement process for the "TD2296 - Provision of Bulking and Printing Services," aimed at establishing a contract for bulk mailing services. This procurement, following an open procedure, was awarded on 7th October 2025, with the contract scheduled to commence on 5th January 2026 and concluding on 4th January 2028, with the potential for renewal up to 4th January 2030. The industry focus is on business services, specifically printing, with the services intended to be delivered in the Derby region, UKF11. The gross contract value is £1,106,757.82, and the award has been made to DATAGRAPHIC LIMITED, a Chesterfield-based SME. This contract offers a scalable solution, accommodating potential increases due to Local Government Reorganisation, adding planning flexibility without a committal to increased spending.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in printing and mailing services, particularly those that can adapt and scale with changing service demands as a result of local government restructuring. SMEs with robust capabilities in offering high-volume, cost-effective mailing solutions are well-positioned to compete, given the balanced award criteria emphasising both price and quality (50% each). Having expertise in managing contracts with potential service scope increases will be advantageous. This opportunity could significantly benefit companies looking to partner with public sector entities and expand their operations within the region.
