This procurement relates to the services industry category, with a focus on printed matter and postal services. The project aims to engage potential suppliers for a future framework agreement with an estimated value of £1.7 million, extending over eight years from 2027 to 2032, with a possible renewal continuing until 2035. Suppliers are encouraged to participate in a pre-market engagement exercise by 22nd September 2026, intended to shape the procurement strategy and ensure the framework's commercial viability. This tender offers a significant growth opportunity for businesses involved in print, post, and distribution services, particularly those capable of handling large-scale annual billing operations estimated at approximately 195,000 units. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specializing in streamlining processes and improving system integration would be well-suited to compete. The engagement seeks innovative insights to enhance efficiency and control across end-to-end processes, making it attractive for businesses aiming to leverage technology for improved customer communication and service delivery. ## Notice Anglian Water is initiating early market engagement to explore future Print, Post and Distribution Services which will also include the annual bill run of approximately 195,000 units. This exercise aims to help us better understand the market landscape, including the capabilities, service features, and delivery models available to support Anglian Waters Print, Post and Distribution requirements. The insights gained will inform our strategy to secure a commercially robust, scalable solution that aligns with both our regulatory duties and broader business outcomes. Our key objectives for a future approach include: * Streamlining print and distribution processes to reduce complexity and ensure agility in delivering the annual billing run of approximately 195,000 units, alongside other ad-hoc mailings. * Driving efficiency by minimising duplication and improving coordination across print, fulfilment, and postal services. * Enhancing visibility and control across the end-to-end process to support proactive monitoring, quality assurance, and evidence-based decision-making. * Building organisational capability through better integration of systems, reliable tooling, and improved access to real-time tracking and reporting on customer communications. The value of the framework is likely to be approximately PS1.7 million for the 8 years. ### Planning Information nterested suppliers are invited to participate in this pre-market engagement exercise by completing a short questionnaire.
