What counts as a Printing tender

Commercial and litho printing, digital and print-on-demand, design and artwork, publication and report production, signage and wayfinding, promotional and branded items, mailing and fulfilment, managed print services, and media buying and campaign production.

Who buys printing in the UK

Councils for public information, electoral and statutory notices; NHS bodies for patient information; universities for prospectuses and research publication; central government for campaigns and forms. Electoral printing is a specialised, deadline-critical strand with strict security requirements.

Right now the most active buyers publishing in this category on Daily Tenders are Newry, Mourne and Down District Council (NMD), Scottish Prison Service, Liverpool City Council, TULLIE HOUSE MUSEUM AND ART GALLERY TRUST, The Minister for the Cabinet Office acting through Crown Commercial Service and Crown Commercial Service.

What you need to bid

ISO 9001 and 14001, FSC or PEFC chain of custody, ISO 27001 or equivalent for anything involving personal data such as mailing and fulfilment. Electoral and secure printing require documented security controls, vetted staff and audited stock handling.

How printing contracts reach market

Usually framework-based with rate cards and call-off ordering, often lotted by print type. Managed print service contracts covering device fleets are longer-term and closer to an IT procurement in character. Design and campaign work is more commonly quoted per project.

Common questions

Is print procurement declining?

Volume for general print is falling as services digitise, but statutory, electoral, patient-facing and accessible-format printing remain substantial and are largely non-discretionary.

What does accessible format mean in a print tender?

Producing large print, easy-read, braille and audio versions on request, within the timescales the buyer specifies. Under the Equality Act 2010 buyers must be able to meet these requests, so capability here is often a pass/fail requirement.
