Summary of the contracting process

Pembrokeshire County Council is procuring electoral registration and canvassing print services for its Electoral Registration Officer. The requirement covers the production of canvass forms, invitation-to-register forms, personal identifier refresher and reapplication forms, household notification letters, communications relating to automatic voter registration and associated printed materials. This is a public-sector printing and related services contract, classified under CPV 79800000. Delivery is for Pembrokeshire County Council in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The work is suited to a print supplier able to produce varied electoral and registration materials accurately, consistently and at scale, with distribution arrangements covering the council’s requirements. The contract also places importance on Welsh-language provision, design quality, checking processes and service delivery.

The procurement has reached tender: Pembrokeshire County Council invited suppliers to submit offers through an open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 5 October 2026 at 12:00, and tenders by 9 October 2026 at 14:00. The council’s award decision was due by 23 October 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 16 November 2026 to 15 November 2029, with one possible 12-month renewal extending the maximum period to 15 November 2030. The estimated value is £275,000 excluding VAT, or £330,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Evaluation gives 40% to total pricing and 60% to quality: service delivery 15%, quality checking 10%, and design, capacity, business continuity, Welsh language and distribution 7% each.

This opportunity suits commercial printers and print-management businesses with experience delivering high-volume, time-sensitive public information materials. Suppliers should be able to handle multiple form and letter formats, maintain strong quality-control processes, and demonstrate reliable service delivery from design through production and distribution. Capacity is explicitly evaluated, so bidders should be able to evidence sufficient production and fulfilment resources for electoral registration work. Business continuity planning is also assessed, favouring suppliers with credible arrangements for maintaining service during disruption. Welsh-language capability is a scored requirement, making bilingual production or access to suitable language resources commercially relevant. The council states that the lot is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and distribution capability is important alongside design, print accuracy and dependable operational performance.
