## Summary

Nottinghamshire County Council procured hybrid mail services for delivery across the East Midlands. The requirement covers secure, cloud-hosted printing and mailing, including both ad hoc and bulk work, with electronic notification. In practical terms, the service combines managed print production, physical distribution and digital communication for the council’s outgoing correspondence. The main category is mailing services (CPV 79571000), with printing and distribution also included (CPV 79824000). This is a service requirement rather than a supply of equipment or construction work. Businesses with integrated print-and-mail operations, secure hosted platforms and electronic notification capability would be aligned with the scope. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This procurement has been awarded following a direct award procedure. DSI Billing was selected as the supplier on 28 July 2026 for £420,000. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 24 July 2026 at 12:00. The published outcome records an active award and a completed tender process. The award covers the full hybrid mail requirement rather than separately identified lots, with the stated contract value applying to the award. The buying route was a direct award rather than an open or multi-stage competition, so the process outcome reflects a contract placed with a named supplier rather than bids evaluated through a competitive tender.

This award demonstrates established council demand for an end-to-end hybrid mail service combining secure hosted technology with reliable print, physical mailing and electronic notification. A credible future competitor would need to manage both ad hoc requests and high-volume production, maintain dependable distribution arrangements across the East Midlands, and connect digital notifications with the physical mailing workflow. Secure handling of council correspondence, operational resilience and the capacity to deliver repeatable service at public-sector scale would be important commercial strengths. The requirement is relevant to print-and-mail specialists, managed communications providers and technology-enabled fulfilment businesses, including SMEs, particularly those able to offer a joined-up platform rather than a standalone printing or postal service.
