Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government bought printing and delivery services for voter identification cards. The requirement covers producing the cards and delivering them within the United Kingdom. This is a defined print-and-fulfilment service for voter ID, rather than a general communications or campaign contract. The buyer is the central government department responsible for housing, communities and local government. The published scope identifies the cards themselves and their delivery, with no further breakdown of quantities or technical specifications in the procurement summary.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to HH Global Limited. The department used a selective route, placing a call-off through the Print and Digital Communications framework, Lot 1. The award date was 22 September 2026, and the contract runs from 22 September 2026 to 22 September 2028, with an initial two-year term. The contract provides for two optional 12-month extensions, exercisable at the department’s sole discretion. The awarded value is £5 million. The tender deadline was 24 August 2026. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were identified as suitable suppliers. No evaluation criteria are reported in the available process data.

This award confirms demand from the department for the production and delivery of voter ID cards, combining print capability with reliable distribution across the United Kingdom. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate the capacity to manage both stages together: producing consistent, secure identification cards at scale and delivering them efficiently to the required recipients. The contract was placed through a government framework for print and digital communications, so suppliers seeking similar work would benefit from framework access and experience in public-sector call-offs. The named winner is a large supplier, indicating that delivery capacity and the ability to coordinate a substantial service are relevant. The buyer also identified SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises as suitable, so organisational size alone was not a barrier to suitability.
