## Summary

The Association of North East Councils, functioning as the North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO), is conducting a procurement process for the provision of election and electoral registration printing services under tender ID NEPO504. The tender is classified under the goods category, specifically for printed matter and related products. The procurement is currently in the Award stage as of 1 December 2021, following the conclusion of the tender period on 7 October 2021. The agreement aims to establish a multi-supplier framework to serve contracting authorities across the North East region of the UK, with a total contract value of £20,000,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in printing services, to secure contracts through a framework agreement that allows multiple suppliers. Large firms and small to medium enterprises (SMEs) alike, especially those with capabilities in compliant election and electoral registration materials, would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, given the promise of sub-contracting, businesses can expand their operations by partnering with awarded suppliers, providing a pathway for both growth and collaboration within the sector.
