Emphasising on goods for general public services, the tender is currently in the planning stage with an anticipated procurement commencement notice aimed for 2nd March 2026. The council requires approximately 11,000 colour-coded plastic travel passes to be printed and distributed annually, with an additional 3,000 to accommodate ongoing requirements. This initiative, located within the UKM72 region, involves a contract valued at £80,000 and focuses on distributing the passes by August each year. The procurement process is organised under the CPV code 22455000, indicating a focus on printed matter and related products. The tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in printing services, particularly those capable of handling high-volume, multi-colour card production and distribution. Companies focusing on related industries such as logistics and distribution within the Fife area would also find this project beneficial for growth. With a focus on local distribution within the Fife region, entities with established operational frameworks in printing and logistics are well-suited to compete, potentially leveraging existing infrastructure to fulfil the council's requirements efficiently. As this is currently in the planning stage, interested businesses should prepare to engage with the tendering process when the notice is published in March 2026. ## Notice Fife Council has a requirement to print plastic school travel passes which are required to be sent to addresses throughout Fife.
