Tender description

Crown Commercial Service (CCS) sought a self-service print platform to bring under management the high-volume, low-spend print requirements across the public sector, allowing access to a pre-qualified, dynamic and local supplier base who offer real-time pricing across the print landscape. This enabled end users to access the best solution for their print requirements based on variables including price and location. It was anticipated that this would be through an external-facing technology platform that provides real-time access to a vendor database of local printers who could offer dynamic pricing for customers’ various print requirements. This framework had a single supplier lot and can be used by Central Government and UK public sector bodies. Lot 1: Single supplier for the provision of a technology platform for a self-serve print solution. This enabled end users in the public sector to access real-time pricing on a dynamic basis from local print suppliers for a wide range of print requirements. Additional information: Please note that following the award of the framework contract there will be a non-trading mobilisation implementation period until the 15th December 2024. The 16th December 2024 is when provision of the RM6371 Print Marketplace 2 is expected to go live (start).

About the buyer

The Government Commercial Agency (CCS) is the UK's central buying body, renamed from the Crown Commercial Service in April 2026. As CCS, it ran national buying agreements for public and non-profit bodies across the UK. Government departments and local authorities drew on it as a shared procurement route. Buyers reached suppliers through frameworks, dynamic purchasing systems, dynamic markets and catalogues. Suppliers paid a commission on sales rather than a fee to join.

Over the past 5 years, most of CCS's contract awards have been in business services, IT services and software and information systems.
