Summary of the contracting process

The Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP), a sub-central public authority in Banbury, has concluded a direct award contract with Corporate Document Services Limited (CDS) for the project titled "Local Authority Printing & Fulfilment Support." The contract pertains to the production and mailing of information packs for Flintshire County Council's recycling initiative. The procurement is in the services category, focused on printed books, brochures, and leaflets, along with postal services, and it's situated in the United Kingdom. Key dates include the contract start on 20 March 2025 and an end date of 31 March 2025, with an anticipated contract signature by 19 March 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in printing and mailing services, particularly those with capabilities in handling large-scale distribution and time-sensitive projects. Companies like Corporate Document Services Limited, which excel in these areas, are well-suited to compete. The direct award method, justified by urgent timing and safety concerns, highlights the need for reliable and efficient service providers to support public sector initiatives under tight deadlines, enabling business growth through trusted public sector partnerships.

Notice Title

Local Authority Printing & Fulfilment Support

Notice Description

As part of our workplan this year, we're supporting Flintshire County Council (FCC) to increase its recycling rate by delivering a service change to reduce the frequency of its non-recyclable waste collections from every two weeks to every three weeks. This is in line with Welsh Government's Collections Blueprint, the recommended service profile for the collection of household waste in Wales. As part of this project, we produced information packs - comprising an envelope, letter, booklet, Quick Guide, and collections calendar - to be delivered to around 75,000 affected homes.

Procurement Information

The Council has faced some backlash from residents and delivering the packs by hand is no longer viable, under the original Tender process & appointment. It was deemed that this approach was putting the council's staff in danger and not effectively communicating the required messages. We've sought a quote to retrieve the filled packs from the Council, to supply replacement envelopes and print residents' postal addresses, then mail them to homes using a Royal Mail economy postal service, on the Council's behalf. Due to service changes & price increases coming into force in April 2025, and for a continuation of the service-in-progress, we do not have time to complete another competitive tender procedure, which will slow the process & we need to ensure we stick to the delivery on a tight schedule.
