Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council procured a resident waste-calendar service covering the printing, fulfilment and postage of waste collection calendars. The work includes producing the calendars, preparing them for distribution and posting them to residents. Delivery is across Renfrewshire, with the council as the buying organisation. This is a public-sector print and mailing requirement, suited to businesses that can combine print production with high-volume fulfilment and postal distribution. The service falls within business support and printing-related activities, with the classification code 79571000 for mailing services. It was structured as a single requirement rather than separate contracts for printing, fulfilment and postage, so the successful provider was expected to manage the service as an integrated operation.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Renfrewshire Council used a limited call-off and further competition under the Government Commercial Agency’s Postal Services and Solutions framework, RM6280, Lot 6 for Hybrid Mail, Digital and Transformational services, without a separate prior call for competition. One electronic bid was received, from an SME, and PSL Print Mangement Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026 and is active. Its value is £66,080.88. The recorded process rationale places the procurement outside the scope of the applicable directive. The published outcome does not state an award date or contract end date.

This award demonstrates demand for an integrated print-to-post service from a Scottish local authority, at a scale requiring coordinated production, fulfilment and resident distribution rather than printing alone. A credible future competitor would need reliable calendar printing, accurate data handling, packing and fulfilment processes, and access to dependable postal delivery capacity across Renfrewshire. Experience of public-sector communications or other address-based distribution would help demonstrate operational control, while strong quality assurance would be important for avoiding missed households, incorrect materials or delivery errors. The route used also shows the value of framework access, particularly experience relevant to hybrid mail, digital and transformational postal services. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that specialist smaller businesses can compete when they can provide the complete service.
