## Summary

The National Archives has completed a procurement process, awarding a concession contract for legislation publishing services. This project falls under the services industry category and utilises a direct procurement method, executed below threshold without competition. The contract was signed on 31st July 2025 and became active on 1st August 2025, with an end date set for 31st July 2026, although potential extensions could extend it to 31st July 2028. The procurement stage is complete, and the service will be delivered across multiple regions in the United Kingdom, including UKI and UKJ. The total contract value, including the possibility of renewals, is valued at £4,140,000 GBP.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in publishing services, especially those capable of handling government-related content. Given the specific requirements and the non-competitive, concessionary nature of the procurement process overseen by a central government authority, companies already well-versed in legislative publishing, like small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), would be particularly well-suited to render these services. The awarded company, The Stationery Office Ltd, exemplifies the type of business that benefits from such opportunities, indicating potential growth areas for similar entities prepared to work within the framework of public sector contracts.
