Summary of the contracting process

The framework, valued at £2,520,000 gross, will operate from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2030, with potential extensions until March 2030. The procurement process employs an open procedure, allowing electronic submissions in English until 3rd March 2026. This opportunity covers services within the "Printed matter and related products" and "Postal and telecommunications services" categories, and is centred in Beverley, United Kingdom. The contract is divided into two lots: Election Printing and Registration Printing, with the evaluation criteria heavily weighing on price and quality, including method statements and social value considerations.

This tender provides substantial prospects for businesses specialising in printing, postal, and telecommunications services, especially those capable of delivering comprehensive election and registration printing solutions. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as additional call-offs from this framework can provide ongoing business and potential for growth. The structured framework allows economic operators to bid on individual lots or both, ensuring versatile participation opportunities. With criteria prioritising quality and social value, businesses with robust quality assurance methods and community-focused practices stand a good chance of securing a spot as one of the top three suppliers for each lot.
