Summary of the contracting process

Waste & Resources Action Programme procured communication support for Carmarthenshire County Council. The requirement covers print production, fulfilment and mailing services for a countywide recycling communication. The mailing supports planned changes to the council’s recycling service and forms part of WRAP’s grant-funded support to help improve the local authority’s recycling rate. The service involves preparing and distributing communications so that they reach approximately 70,000 homes across Carmarthenshire. The work is therefore relevant to print companies, fulfilment houses, direct-mail specialists and postal operators able to manage a large, geographically distributed household mailing. The procurement is classified as services, including postal and courier services, and is bought by WRAP, a public undertaking based in Banbury.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold route described as unknown, using one lot. DSI Billing was selected for the services, with the award recorded as active on 6 July 2026. The contract was signed on 6 July 2026 and runs from 27 July 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its gross value is £114,000. The contract is below the relevant threshold. The requirement was evaluated as a single service package covering the print, fulfilment and mailing operation, rather than separate awards for individual activities. The award relates to the full requirement for the Carmarthenshire recycling mailing, with delivery across the United Kingdom recorded for the awarded postal and courier services.

This procurement demonstrates demand from WRAP for a substantial, time-critical household communications campaign supporting a local authority recycling-service change. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need dependable print production, address-data handling, fulfilment and mailing capability, with sufficient operational capacity to prepare and distribute communications to around 70,000 homes across a county. Experience coordinating a complete direct-mail operation would be valuable, particularly where delivery must be managed consistently across urban and rural communities. Suppliers should be able to integrate production, packing and postal handover, maintain quality and volume control, and work to public-sector communications requirements. The buyer’s grant-supported recycling work also makes sector understanding and reliable delivery for environmental behaviour-change campaigns relevant strengths.
