What is being bought

Published requirement description

Companies House is looking to provide notification to the market ahead of a planned procurement exercise for its Printed Stationery (Print/Store/Deliver) contract.<br/><br/>This is to support supplier readiness in responding to our requirements for a supplier to manufacture, store, administer, and distribute printed stationery (primarily envelopes). The contract requires the supplier to produce envelopes that meet detailed specifications and ensure appropriate packaging to prevent damage during transit. Envelopes must be delivered to Companies House Cardiff, with the supplier maintaining stock levels and managing stock to prevent obsolescence. Regular updates on stock levels are required. Deliveries will be scheduled weekly, with flexibility to adjust based on demand. The supplier is also expected to suggest efficiency improvements and environmentally friendly solutions.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
