Description

The Print Procurement function of Parliament serves departments across both the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The function supplies printed items requested by customers for the performance of their Parliamentary duties and the promotion of public events.

Printed and promotional items are outsourced to external printers where Print Services (the in-house digital production unit) cannot produce the requirements due to quantities required, time scales specified or where specialist printing or finishing is required, such as embossing, foil blocking, die-stamping and thermography.
