Denbighshire and Flintshire County Councils (The Authorities) are looking to engage with the market for their hybrid mail requirements. The Authorities current have contracts in place which end in 2025.

The current solutions also allow for bulk mailings i.e large print batches of post or mail items to a large number of different recipients.
