Summary of the contracting process

Plus Dane Housing Limited procured customer communications services covering print, mailing and digital communications. The requirement is classified as printing and delivery services and is intended for delivery in the North West of England, including the buyer’s Liverpool base. It was a direct award through the Procurement for Housing Business Solutions and Supply Management Framework, Lot 3 for Print Mailing and Digital Communications. The work sits within the services category and supports the production, preparation, mailing and digital distribution of customer communications for the housing organisation. The selected supplier is based in Midsomer Norton, Bath, showing that delivery is not limited to a Liverpool-based provider.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The award was made to Integrity Print Limited on 23 July 2026 for £160,000 including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 24 July 2026 to 23 July 2031. The tender’s submission deadline was 22 July 2026. It used a direct award through the Procurement for Housing framework, Lot 3, rather than an open competition. The published description identifies the requirement as customer communications covering print, mailing and digital communications. The opportunity was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises but suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active and the buyer is Plus Dane Housing Limited.

For suppliers tracking this buyer’s demand, the award demonstrates a substantial, multi-year requirement for integrated customer communications rather than a single print job. A credible future competitor would need to provide printing and delivery services alongside mailing and digital communications, with the operational capacity to support a housing organisation’s customer-facing communications. The chosen route also shows the importance of access to, and compliance with, the Procurement for Housing Business Solutions and Supply Management Framework, specifically its print, mailing and digital communications lot. Integrity Print Limited is recorded as an SME, while the procurement was marked suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that specialist providers with relevant production, fulfilment and communications capability may be well placed to monitor similar requirements from Plus Dane Housing.
