The Greater London Authority (GLA) is in the planning stage of a procurement process for the project titled "GLA Design, print, distribution and project management." This initiative, categorised under business services like law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security, aims to design, print, and distribute approximately 18 million ballot papers across London.

Businesses interested in this tender should be aware that future notices will be published on 1 November 2026. The procurement is being organised by Transport for London under the UK's legal framework and is centrally managed by the GLA.

Companies able to provide innovative solutions for accessible ballot papers and ensure precise quality assurance processes would have a competitive edge in winning this contract, thus bolstering their portfolio in public sector services.
