## Summary

East Lindsey District Council has recently awarded a contract for "Election Printing Services - Annual Canvass and Postal Vote Reapplication Printing" to Civica Election Services Limited. This contract aims to support the statutory duties of the Electoral Registration Officer by ensuring the accuracy, security, and compliance of all communications issued to electors. Governed under the legal framework of the UK Public Contracts Regulations 2023, the procurement process followed an open procedure. The contract, valued at £749,462.28, is set to commence on 27th July 2026 and will run until 26th July 2030, with the possibility of a 12-month extension. Services will be rendered across the UK's UKF3 region, highlighting the significance of the project in maintaining the integrity of the democratic process through efficient electoral services.

This procurement presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in electoral services and printing, particularly those with a robust track record in handling time-critical projects within regulated environments. The open procedure method employed indicates an inclusive opportunity for competitive bidding. With an initial submission deadline on 23rd June 2026, the process had attracted a noteworthy interest, evidenced by seven bids, six from SMEs. Companies equipped with the capability to ensure data security, operational resilience, and flexibility in the face of legislative demands are well-suited to engage in tenders of this nature. Such contracts are pivotal in fostering business growth, particularly for enterprises focused on secure, high-volume printing and distribution services, aligning their offerings with stringent public sector requirements.

## Notice

East Lindsey District Council (the Council) is seeking to appoint a suitably experienced and competent Supplier to provide Electoral Registration Printing and Communication Services from 2026 onwards, supporting the statutory duties of the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO). This requirement relates specifically to the Annual Canvass and Postal Vote Reapplication processes, both of which are governed by strict legislative frameworks and non negotiable statutory deadlines. The successful Supplier will play a critical role in ensuring that all communications issued to electors are accurate, secure, compliant, and delivered in accordance with prescribed timescales. Given the sensitivity, scale, and public importance of electoral registration activities, the Council requires a Supplier with proven experience in electoral or similarly regulated environments, robust data security arrangements, and the operational resilience to respond to variable volumes and time critical demands. Throughout the life of the contract, the ERO must adhere to nationally prescribed timetables, and the Supplier must therefore demonstrate the ability to conform rigidly to specified dates, quality standards, and legislative requirements at all times. This contract represents an opportunity to contribute directly to the integrity and efficiency of the democratic process, supporting elector engagement and compliance with electoral law.
