The procurement for the Provision of Print Services

Opportunity overview

This contract began on 14 April 2021, with an initial expiry date of 31 March 2024. The contract can be extended until 31 March 2026, and the contracting authority intends to exercise this option. The requirements of the contracting authority in this area are, as a result of potential changes in our approach to digital jury bundles, developing rapidly. As a result, it is unlikely that a comprehensive procurement can be launched in time to introduce a replacement supplier by the extended expiry date of 31 March 2026. Instead, it is intended that procurement of a replacement supplier will be launched early in 2026, with a new supplier in place by April 2027. An extension of 12 months beyond the extended expiry date will therefore be entered into. The contracting authority considers that this extension does not meet any of the conditions set out in Regulation 72(8) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and, in particular, does not believe that it is a “considerable” extension for the purposes of Regulation 72(8)(d). Therefore, it does not constitute a “substantial modification” for the purposes of Regulation 72(8), and is a modification permitted without a new procurement exercise.
