Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council procured electoral services for Ashfield District Council, covering the printing of election stationery and associated online services. The requirement is classified as printed matter and related products, with an additional focus on print shop software. It is a services contract delivered in England. The work is intended for a supplier able to produce election materials accurately and reliably, while also supporting the related online service requirements. The named buying organisation is Nottinghamshire County Council, and the requirement concerns electoral activity for Ashfield District Council. This combination may suit commercial printers, election stationery specialists and providers of software-enabled print services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award under the G Cloud 14 route. The tender submission deadline was 3 July 2026 at 23:59. The contract was awarded on 10 July 2026 to Print Image Network Limited for £250,000, and runs from 14 July 2026 to 13 July 2028. The stated tender value is also £250,000. The award is active. The procurement was evaluated as a direct award rather than through an open competition. Small and medium-sized enterprises were identified as suitable suppliers. The contract covers the full electoral printing and associated online services requirement for Ashfield District Council.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for election stationery printing combined with online service capability within Nottinghamshire County Council’s area of activity. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would have dependable production capacity, strong document accuracy and quality-control processes suited to election materials, and the ability to handle time-sensitive, confidential or high-volume print activity. Relevant competitors may also provide print-management or print-shop software that supports ordering, workflow control and digital interaction alongside physical production. The procurement was considered suitable for SMEs, so a specialist smaller provider with proven electoral, transactional or public-sector printing experience could be credible when this requirement returns to the market.
