## Summary

Peterborough City Council, a sub-central government public authority, has engaged in a procurement process for the provision of "Hybrid & Bulk Print Services" to support its Revenues and Benefit Services. The council, located in the UKF30 region of the United Kingdom, opted for a direct award procurement method under the legal basis of the Procurement Act 2023. The decision was based on the necessity to maintain compatibility and avoid technical difficulties by continuing services with Financial Data Management Ltd, a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) situated in London. This procurement process reached the award stage on 30th September 2025, with the contract transitioning into active status on the 13th September 2025 and extending through to the 31st August 2026. The contract value is £495,702 gross, underlining its above-threshold classification.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in digital printing services due to its focus on bulk printing operations. SMEs with expertise in business services including printing and consulting, particularly those located in or near the UKH region, will find this contract appealing. The direct award mechanism highlights the importance of establishing strong, long-term working relationships with public authorities, as it prioritises continuity and technical alignment over competitive tendering. Businesses positioned to offer seamless integration and consistent service delivery without introducing the risk of incompatibility are well-suited to engage with such procurement opportunities and expand their operational capacities through public sector contracts.

### Procurement Information

This new contract is considered a covered procurement under the Procurement Act 2023, therefore, the award to FDM must be in accordance with that Act. The Council is relying on section 41, to make the direct award for the justification set out in Schedule 5, paragraph 7), because the services from FDM are additional or a repeat order. The Act justifies a direct award where a contracting authority is ordering more of, or a partial replacement for, some existing goods, services or works, this second contract with FDM can be directly awarded where two conditions are fulfilled: - A change in supplier would mean the contracting authority receives different or incompatible goods, works or services. - The difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance.
