Description

These are interim call-off contracts arrangements for 6 months duration (with option to extend by up to a further 6 months), for printing and finishing services, for the UKHO. These contracts are being set up, as part of business critical strategies being put in place by the UKHO, following its previous key printing and supplier going into administration, in late 2019. These contracts are also being put in place to provide the UKHO with the period and opportunity to be able to re-compete the full publication printing, finishing and fulfilment services.

Legal Justification

In accordance with Article 32.2.(c), the contracting authority, is seeking to place interim, short term, call-off contracts for publication printing services with a small group of up to 3 economic operators, for a period of 6 months, with an option for up to a further 6 months. This extremely urgent action is required, due to unforeseen circumstances and where the previously appointed printing and fulfilment services supplier for the UKHO, Latimer Trend, went into administration, 3,5 years into its 5 year contract. Placing these call-off contracts now, will allow the contracting authority to be able to re-compete and replacing the full printing and fulfilment services again, under a new OJEU contract award notice. At the same time, the UKHO continues to meet its safety of life at sea responsibilities, by having its safety critical, sea navigational publications printed and delivered to end customers through its distribution chain.
