## Summary

Northern Ireland Co-Ownership Housing Association Ltd is procuring a mailhouse service to publish and post bulk letters to its customers. The requirement covers printing and related services, together with the preparation and postage of high-volume customer communications. The buyer is based in Belfast, and delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the procurement associated with Northern Ireland. This is a services contract rather than a supply of goods or construction works. The work will suit providers able to manage the complete process from receiving customer-letter content through production, handling and postal dispatch. The requirement is relevant to commercial printers, transactional mail specialists, fulfilment businesses and postal operators that provide bulk customer correspondence services for public or regulated organisations.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It has one lot, with electronic submissions allowed through the stated e-tendering service. Questions had to be submitted by 4 September 2026 at 17:00, and offers were due by 11 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with renewal available for two further 12-month periods, potentially extending to 30 September 2029. The estimated gross value is £93,000 for the lot. Offers are evaluated according to the criteria set out in the tender documents. Suppliers should therefore review those documents for the detailed scoring method, technical requirements and submission instructions before preparing a bid.

This opportunity suits an established mailhouse, transactional print provider, fulfilment company or postal services business with the equipment, systems and operational capacity to produce and dispatch bulk customer letters reliably. Relevant capability includes high-volume digital or similar production, accurate handling of customer data and addresses, envelope preparation, sorting, postal induction and delivery management. Experience of end-to-end customer correspondence programmes will be useful, particularly where deadlines, document accuracy and secure processing are important. Providers able to combine printing and postage within one controlled service can address the full requirement rather than only one stage of it. The work is also relevant to businesses with UK-wide distribution capability and a track record of serving housing associations, public bodies or other organisations sending regular customer communications.
