Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council, based at The Guildhall in Hull, is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process titled "Distribution of Local Ward Newsletters/Leaflets." This tender falls under the services category, specifically focusing on printing and distribution services with CPV code 79824000. The procurement process aims to distribute newsletters and leaflets across Hull. A market engagement is underway, with a questionnaire issued to potential bidders, and it's expected to lead to a subsequent tender. Key dates include a scheduled engagement milestone due by 15 October 2025. The procurement value is set at £360,000 gross (£300,000 net), and the contract is expected to run from 1 February 2026 to 31 January 2028, with the potential for renewal until 31 January 2030.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in printing and distribution services, particularly those that qualify as SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) or VCSEs (Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises). By participating, businesses can leverage this project to expand their portfolio within the public sector, enhancing their visibility and credibility. The procurement process allows these entities to showcase their capabilities in handling large-scale distribution tasks and potentially forge a long-term partnership with a sub-central government entity like Hull City Council. With the current planning stage progressing and opportunities for engagement until mid-October 2025, businesses have time to prepare and position themselves effectively for when the tender opens officially.
