## Summary

The North Northamptonshire Council is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Elections and Electoral Registration Print Contract," which aims to secure a comprehensive printing and mailing solution for its Electoral Services. This contract covers both election and electoral registration requirements across North Northamptonshire's geographical area and involves services such as printing materials for elections and electoral registration. The tender falls under the industry category of printing and related services (CPV code: 79800000), with an estimated contract value of £2,421,750. Key dates include a future notice publication on 30th October 2026, with the contract period anticipated to commence on 1st April 2027 and conclude by 31st March 2030, with potential renewal extending to 2032. The tender process is initiated under the legal basis of UK legislation (2023/54) and is classified as a service procurement by a public authority at a sub-central government level.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in printing and mailing services, particularly those capable of integrating with existing electoral management systems. It is well-suited for SMEs and VCSEs looking to expand their client base within governmental contracts. Involvement in this contract could enhance a company's portfolio, opening up further opportunities within the public sector. With a substantial budget allocation and a clear requirement for a seamless integration with the Council's day-to-day operations, businesses that demonstrate expertise in secure digital data transfer and large-scale printing operations will find this opportunity particularly advantageous. The North Northamptonshire Council's focus on a complete service provision ensures that the winning contractor can establish a long-term partnership, given the potential for contract renewal.

## Notice

North Northamptonshire Council (hereafter referred to as the "Council"), on behalf of the appointed Electoral Registration Officer (hereafter referred to as "ERO") and Returning Officer (hereafter referred to as "RO"), are looking for a complete printing and mailing solution for Electoral Services covering both election and electoral registration requirements, covering the entire geographical area of North Northamptonshire. The Council is a unitary authority, covering three full parliamentary constituencies, thirty-one unitary wards, with an electorate of 273,000 and 165,000 residential properties approximately. Election requirements include, but are not restricted to, the printing of materials associated with referendums, local government, parliamentary and mayoral elections. Electoral registration requirements include, but are not restricted to, the printing and despatch of materials associated with the registration of electors, the annual canvass, absent voting and automated household response services. Integration of the printing and mailing solution into the existing day to day business operations of the Council will ensure existing processes and activities, carried out on our Electoral Management System (EMS), result in relevant forms, letters and general correspondence being created with the ability to securely transfer all required data digitally onto the printing supplier for prompt printing and dispatch.
