## Summary

Wakefield Council is planning a procurement process titled "Electoral Print" under the industry category of "Printed matter and related products" (CPV code 22000000) and "Postal and telecommunications services" (CPV code 64000000). This procurement is at the planning stage and involves services to manage all statutory local government and national elections, including District Council elections. The existing contract expires in July 2025, with the new contract anticipated to commence on 29th July 2025 for a period of five years, extendable by two additional periods of 18 months each. The procurement will use the open procedure method and is aimed at suppliers within the Yorkshire and the Humber region. Key dates include the future notice date on 3rd February 2025 and the tender opening in February 2025.

This tender opens significant opportunities for businesses specialising in printing and postal services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are particularly encouraged to compete, given the contract's inclusivity towards these groups. With an estimated value of £2.2 million, this represents a substantial business opportunity that can provide long-term stability and growth. Firms with experience in electoral services, printing, and postal delivery, especially those familiar with the regulatory requirements of local government elections, will be well-suited to participate in this procurement process.
