UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Knowsley Council procured election and electoral registration printing and related services. The work covers printing and postal services supporting elections and electoral registration; the award records postal and telecommunications services and business services, including printing. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement was made through a framework procured by Liverpool City Council, while Knowsley Council is the buyer for this contract. The named supplier is Civica Election Services Limited.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Knowsley Council awarded the contract to Civica Election Services Limited. It was procured by direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, through the framework procured by Liverpool City Council. The contract was signed on 23 August 2026 and runs from 24 August 2026 to 30 June 2030, with an option for one further twelve-month extension, to a maximum end date of 30 June 2031. Its stated value is £113,420 excluding VAT and £136,104 including VAT. The process comprised one lot. No separate award date or evaluation criteria are recorded.

This award shows that Knowsley Council buys election and electoral registration printing alongside related postal services through a framework route. Civica Election Services Limited, a large supplier, was selected for this requirement. Suppliers seeking to compete for similar work for this buyer should be able to deliver election-focused print production and the associated postal services as a coordinated service, and be capable of operating through the relevant framework procurement route. The requirement is a defined council service rather than general printing alone: credible competitors would need to understand the operational demands of supporting elections and electoral registration, and to handle the linked printing and distribution work at a suitable scale.
