## Summary

Westmorland and Furness Council appointed a provider for revenues and benefits hybrid printing and mailing services. The requirement covers printing, supplying and dispatching council tax, National Non-Domestic Rates and benefits correspondence, together with associated stationery and documentation. Outputs include daily bills, notifications and other related documents, including annual billing issued each February and March. Correspondence is sent to UK and international addresses. This is a public-sector document production, fulfilment and postal service, with related printing services classified under CPV 79800000 and postal and telecommunications services under CPV 64000000. The work is associated with the Council’s revenues and benefits service and is delivered for the Council in the North West of England.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to CFH Docmail Ltd on 31 July 2026. The award value is £734,948.02 including the stated full four-year term. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030, comprising an initial two-year term and two optional one-year extensions. The Council ran a selective further competition as a call-off from the CCS RM6280 framework. The tender submission deadline was 1 July 2026 at 14:00 BST. The award is active and the overall procurement is complete. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one award for the printing, postage and dispatch service.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from Westmorland and Furness Council for a supplier able to manage high-volume, recurring public-sector correspondence from production through despatch. A credible competitor would need integrated hybrid print capability, reliable stationery supply, document personalisation and accurate mailing operations for council tax, National Non-Domestic Rates and benefits communications. It would also need to handle daily billing and notification runs, the annual February and March billing cycle, and delivery to both UK and international addresses. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so specialist print-and-mail businesses with dependable operational capacity may be well placed to compete when this requirement next returns to market.
