Summary of the contracting process

City of Doncaster Council procured print management services for its House Proud Tenants newsletter magazine. The requirement covers printing, mailing and digital communications under Lot 3 of the PfH Business Solutions and Supply Management Framework. It is a services contract focused on producing and distributing tenant communications, with printing and distribution forming the main work categories. Delivery is in Yorkshire and the Humber, with the buying organisation based at Civic Office, Waterdale, Doncaster. The opportunity is relevant to businesses that can manage the end-to-end production of printed communications, arrange distribution to tenants and support associated digital communication activity for a local authority housing audience.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through the PfH framework, using Lot 3 for Print Mailing and Digital Communications. RESOURCE PRINT SOLUTIONS LIMITED was awarded the contract on 17 July 2026 for £85,560. The contract runs from 18 July 2026 to 17 July 2028, with options for the Council to extend it twice by 12 months at its sole discretion. The tender deadline was 16 July 2026. The requirement was evaluated through the framework route and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier is a large organisation. The award is active and the procurement covers services rather than goods or works.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting future tenant communications work for City of Doncaster Council. Credible competitors would need the operational capacity to print recurring newsletter magazines, manage mailing and distribution accurately across a housing audience, and provide connected digital communications. Experience in public-sector or local-authority print management would help demonstrate understanding of accessibility, data handling, production schedules and dependable fulfilment, although those specific requirements are not stated as conditions here. Suppliers should also be able to work through a public-sector framework, respond to a defined communications lot and coordinate several linked services through one delivery model. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so a specialist print and mailing business with reliable digital partners could be well placed.
