Print specifications, variable data and the security end of the market
Print is quoted against a specification that has to be complete before a price means anything: quantity and run length, page extent, paper substance and grade, colours on each side, finishing, binding method, packing and delivery points. Change any one and the price moves, which is why these tenders usually ask for rates against defined sample specifications plus a schedule of run-on rates, rather than a single figure. A bidder comparing only the headline job is not comparing the contract.
The market has bifurcated and the two halves compete differently. Transactional and variable-data print -- statements, notices, personalised letters -- is a data handling business in which the print is almost incidental: buyers assess data security, integrity controls that prove every record was printed once and only once, enclosing accuracy, postal presentation and downstream postage optimisation. General publication work is assessed on colour accuracy, proofing, stock availability and turnaround.
At the secure end, the requirements change character entirely. Certificates, identity documents, examination papers, ballot papers and licences are produced under accredited security printing regimes with controlled premises, vetted staff, numbered stock accounting and witnessed destruction of waste, and the audit trail is the deliverable as much as the document. Across the whole category, accessibility obligations -- large print, easy read and alternative formats on request -- and environmental criteria on paper sourcing, inks and waste are standard scored requirements rather than optional extras.
This section describes how this category is bought generally, across the public buyers that publish it. The figures elsewhere on this page are measured for this market alone.

A quarter of them allowed 33 days or fewer and a quarter stayed open for more than 36.
