UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Merton is procuring electoral printing services. The requirement is for a provider to produce printed materials used for electoral purposes, covering the council’s electoral printing needs. This is a public-sector services opportunity rather than a goods supply or construction project. The buying organisation is the London Borough of Merton, based at Morden Civic Centre. The procurement is classified as printing services. Suppliers whose core business is electoral, secure or high-volume public-sector printing should consider whether their production, fulfilment and service capabilities match the council’s requirement. The opportunity concerns service delivery for Merton, with the procuring authority responsible for managing the arrangement.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The deadline for expressions of interest is 7 September 2026 at 11:00 UTC. Offers or participation are submitted electronically through the ProContract portal, with English accepted. The evaluation and award period is scheduled to end on 1 December 2026. The single lot has a gross value of £1,250,000. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 29 November 2030. Award decisions are based on contract delivery quality weighted at 55%, price at 40%, and social value at 5%. This is an above-threshold services procurement.

This opportunity suits established printing businesses with experience of delivering electoral printing services for a public authority. The evaluation places greatest emphasis on contract delivery quality, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate dependable service delivery, accurate production and the operational capability needed to support electoral work. Price remains a substantial part of the assessment, while social value also contributes to the award decision. The requirement may be relevant to firms specialising in electoral materials, transactional printing, secure document production or comparable high-volume public-sector work, provided their service model can meet the council’s delivery expectations. Businesses able to combine reliable production with competitive pricing and credible social-value commitments are best placed to compete.
