Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Merton is procuring electoral printing services to support its electoral activities. The requirement is for a provider to produce electoral materials, falling within printing services (CPV 79810000). Delivery is required across England, so suppliers must be able to serve locations nationally rather than only a single Merton site. The buying organisation is the London Borough of Merton, based at Civic Centre, London Road, Morden. This is a public-sector services opportunity for businesses specialising in electoral, secure or high-volume public-sector printing, particularly those able to manage geographically distributed delivery and the operational demands associated with election-related work.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure above threshold. The deadline for submitting offers was set as 7 September 2026 at 23:59. The contract period is from 1 December 2026 to 29 November 2030. Its estimated value is £1,250,000. The procurement is for services and is presented as a single requirement rather than separate lots. The stated basis for assessing offers is the procurement process set out in the tender materials. Businesses considering the opportunity should therefore review those materials for the detailed submission requirements, specifications and evaluation arrangements before preparing an offer.

This opportunity suits established printing companies that can deliver electoral printing at public-sector scale across England. Relevant strengths include experience producing election-related materials accurately and consistently, reliable handling of confidential or sensitive information, robust quality control, and the ability to meet fixed production and delivery requirements. Suppliers should be capable of coordinating print, packing and distribution across multiple locations and managing demand linked to electoral activity. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so specialist regional or national SMEs may be well placed to compete where they can demonstrate sufficient production capacity, operational resilience and experience delivering comparable high-volume printing services.
