UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wirral Council procured electoral forms and related printing services for elections and electoral registration. The requirement covers the production and associated services needed to support the Council’s electoral activity. The work is delivered in the Wirral area of Merseyside. The procurement was made under the Liverpool City Framework for Elections and Electoral Registration Print and Related Services, linking the Council’s requirement to a wider framework arrangement. The goods and services combine electoral materials with printing and related work, rather than general-purpose printing alone. This is a local-authority requirement for suppliers able to support election administration through the supply of printed electoral materials and associated services.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Civica Election Services Limited. The Council used a below-threshold direct award without competition under the Liverpool City framework. The award was made on 30 June 2026, and the contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2030. Its value is £620,000 excluding VAT (£744,010.80 including VAT). The requirement was arranged as one lot, covering electoral forms and printing and related services. The published evaluation details do not state an award-criteria basis. The award is active and the contract is active.

For suppliers hoping to compete when this requirement next reaches the market, the award demonstrates continuing public-sector demand for election and electoral-registration print, including electoral forms and related services. Credible suppliers would need to show they can reliably produce and deliver election-specific printed materials for a council and support the associated service requirements. Experience with electoral work would be relevant, as would the operational capacity to handle the demands of a local authority’s election activity. The contract was placed through a city-region framework by direct award, so suppliers seeking similar work should understand the framework route and be positioned to meet its requirements. The selected provider is a large specialist election-services supplier, indicating the importance of capability and dependable delivery for this defined requirement.
