This extensive framework covers a wide geographical range including the Merseyside and Northwest Region and is aimed at facilitating electoral processes through printing services. Related councils involved include Wirral Council, Knowsley Council, Preston City Council, and Lancaster City Council, among others. The procurement process followed an open procedure without reopening competition, ensuring an efficient selection of suppliers. The procurement falls under the goods category with auxiliary services and is underpinned by legislation found at the UKPGA scheme 2023/54. The contract commenced on 1st July 2026 and will last until 30th June 2030, with an overall value of GBP 4,000,000 excluding VAT. The framework agreement, estimated at a gross amount of GBP 4,800,000, allows for direct award call-offs to the highest-ranked supplier.

This tender represents a key opportunity for businesses specialising in print services, particularly those capable of supporting civic activities like electoral registration and election management. With a focus on producing electoral forms, the framework caters to suppliers who thrive in fulfilling batch orders efficiently and maintaining compliance with quality and timescale metrics. SMEs like PSL Print Management Ltd and larger entities like CIVICA Election Services Limited are already secured as suppliers, indicating that both small and larger scale companies stand to benefit. With established buyer location restrictions across regions UKD4, UKD6, and UKD7, the contract opens avenues for regional growth within the printing industry, offering participating suppliers guaranteed business volume through municipal collaborations across the North West of England.
