## Summary

The National Records of Scotland, based in Edinburgh, has recently completed a procurement process titled "Production of Leaflets, Bookmarks and Pencils" within the services category. The procurement took place without prior publication of a competitive call, as a limited award procedure was used. The project falls under printing services, identified by the CPV code 79800000, with Edinburgh being the designated delivery location. This process, part of the Publishing, Print, Design and Associated Services framework, culminated with a contract awarded to APS Group (Scotland) Ltd. The contract was signed on 10th July 2025 with a total value of £3,091.31.

This procurement offers significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in the printing and production of promotional materials. With APS Group (Scotland) Ltd, a large-scale company, being a suitable competitor, this suggests potential for similarly scaled organisations to engage in future tenders. Suppliers with expertise in producing high-quality printed materials and an ability to work under framework agreements would be well-positioned to compete. Engaging in similar processes under frameworks or through non-competitive awards could provide a pathway to establish a foothold in government contracts, especially for businesses experienced with the specific requirements and standards expected by public records and archival institutions.
