## Summary

The Exeter City Council is seeking a Contractor for the "Elections Printing service," a vital procurement process within the printing services industry, specifically designed to meet electoral printing needs. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period concluded on 4 January 2019. The contract will run from 1 February 2019 to 31 January 2021, with a total contract value of £100,000. This tender aligns with the statutory obligations of the council, particularly focusing on delivering accurate, reliable printing within tight deadlines for various electoral events held in Exeter, located in the South West of England.

This tender presents excellent opportunities for SMEs and VCSEs engaged in printing services, particularly those capable of managing high-pressure situations and delivering timely results. Businesses with a proven track record in data security and confidentiality, as well as those experienced in electoral services, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this contract could not only enhance a company's portfolio but also offer a solid platform for working closely with local government, thereby fostering growth and potential future contracts in public sector printing services.

## Notice

Exeter City Council's Electoral Services require bespoke printing services to be provided in relation to the statutory obligation of the Returning Officer and Electoral Registration Officer, to carry out his duties. Usually there are two key events in any year; the Annual Electoral Registration Canvass normally conducted between July and December and the relevant elections in May. There are elections every year within the Exeter City council area. Sometimes there is more than one major electoral event in a year and occasionally there are By-elections. These additional elections are immediate and there is often very little notice. Confidence in the supplier's ability to provide and deliver accurate, reliable printing within short timescales is paramount; along with assurance that data is handled securely and confidentially, within the relevant legislative and Council requirements. The key objectives of the Tender are: * To appoint a Contractor to work with Exeter City Council to deliver the electoral printing services. * Appoint a Contractor who understands Exeter City Council's requirements, has sufficient capacity to deliver the requirements and has the ability to be reactive when required. Applicants and interested parties can also send us their contact details to ECCProcurement@exeter.gov.uk so we can provide relevant updates where applicable. Applications must be received no later than 9.00am on 04 January 2019 (as stated in Volume 2 Applicants Offer) and submitted to ECCTenders@exeter.gov.uk Additional information: All tender documents can be found on Exeter City Council Website at the above link.
