This tender is actively open and was published on 19 February 2021. The procurement is classified under the transport equipment industry and follows an open procurement method, with tender submissions accepted until 8 March 2021. The contract will commence on 13 July 2021 and will extend for three years, with the potential for a two-year extension, allowing for a maximum duration of five years. The services will be required across 150 polling stations in the London region. This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in transport and logistics, especially those with experience in electoral services, to engage with a significant public sector contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, potentially benefitting from increased visibility and experience in handling governmental contracts. Firms providing motor vehicles suitable for transporting electoral equipment, as well as those capable of logistical support during elections, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice The Council invites quotations for the provision of Election polling station equipment delivery and collection. The Council is legally required to appoint an Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) and Returning Officer (RO) to deliver electoral registration and run elections in the borough in accordance with statutory requirements. Electoral Services, part of the Resources department, supports the ERO/RO. At every election the RO uses a contractor to deliver specified equipment to the 150 polling stations used in the borough, collecting the equipment after the election. There will be additional logistical support at some elections, including the transportation of ballot boxes to the e-counting venue at GLA elections. The contractor will provide the specified transportation services for all elections in Croydon until June 2024. The duration of the contract is 3 years, subject to the right of The Council (at its sole discretion) to exercise its right to extend the Contract by up to 2. The maximum length of the contract is therefore 5 years.
