## Summary

Liverpool City Council is planning a procurement process for a framework titled "Printer, Paper, Envelope & Associated Products Framework" under the main procurement category of goods. This initiative is currently in the planning stage, with a focus on establishing a framework agreement to facilitate the efficient and affordable acquisition of paper, envelopes, and packaging. A preliminary market engagement notice was published on 3rd August 2026, with soft market testing scheduled via ProContract under DN824603, set to conclude by 1st September 2026. The location for the delivery of goods will be within the Liverpool region (UKD72). This procurement falls under the legal basis of the UK Public Grants Act 2023, Chapter 54.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those supplying paper stationery and related items, to align with Liverpool City Council’s high-volume print and mailing operations, as well as its city-wide fleet of Multi Function Devices (MFDs). Companies with the capability to provide such products, especially small and medium enterprises, are well-suited to compete for inclusion in this framework due to the council's commitment to affordable procurement solutions. The framework agreement is set to begin on 23rd January 2027 and has the potential for renewal, providing sustained business opportunities until at least 2030, with a maximum extension possible until January 2031.

## Notice

Liverpool City Council has a high-volume print and mailing facility to economically produce internal work for its customers. It also has a fleet of Multi Function Devices (MFDs) in use across the city, managed by the Document Solutions Service. The Council requires the implementation of a procurement framework for paper, envelopes and packaging so paper and envelopes can be bought efficiently and at an affordable cost.
