UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council procured a printing and fulfilment service for its council tax communications. The requirement covers printing, collating and despatching annual and weekly billing documents, payment reminders and associated documents. It is a service contract centred on transactional print production and outbound mail handling rather than general commercial printing. The work supports the council’s council tax billing process and involves delivery within the United Kingdom. The requirement was arranged as a single package, covering the complete set of printing and despatch activities. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are likely to provide both document production and reliable despatch services, with processes suitable for recurring council communications and associated paperwork.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold procedure; the published method detail is recorded as unknown. The contract was signed on 1 June 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. Nottingham City Council awarded the contract to DSI Billing Services Limited, an SME. The contract value is £1,078,630 excluding VAT and £1,294,356 including VAT. The buyer can extend the contract for two periods of up to 12 months, potentially extending the term to 31 July 2030, subject to written notice 90 days before expiry and additional exit-plan requirements for extensions beyond 36 months. The contract is active.

This award provides a clear example of Nottingham City Council’s demand for a combined transactional printing and despatch service. A credible future competitor would need to print, collate and send annual and weekly council tax bills, reminders and related documents accurately and consistently. The requirement suits suppliers with established print-production workflows, document handling controls and dependable outbound despatch arrangements. Providers should be able to support recurring billing activity, manage different document types and maintain reliable fulfilment across the United Kingdom. DSI Billing Services Limited’s selection also shows that an SME can compete for this type of council requirement. Relevant businesses can use the scope and contract structure to assess their own operational capability and experience.
