The work covers the annual electoral registration canvass, year-round rolling-registration materials and scheduled or unscheduled elections. Products include poll cards, postal voting packs, ballot papers, mayoral booklets and envelopes, as well as canvass registration forms and related envelopes. This is a combined print-and-postage service for statutory election materials, with anticipated print quantities set out in the tender documents. Delivery is required in the Wyre area, Lancashire. The council invited offers through an open procedure. The tender set an enquiry deadline of 11 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC and a bid deadline of 19 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The planned contract period is 4 January 2027 to 3 January 2029, with one optional 12-month extension to 3 January 2030. The estimated value is £600,000 excluding VAT (£720,000 including VAT). This is a single-lot procurement. Award is based on quality, weighted at 60%, and price, weighted at 40%. The council planned to complete the award decision by 14 December 2026. The contract may be affected by local government reorganisation, which was paused when the tender was issued. The opportunity suits print and fulfilment businesses able to handle high-volume, time-critical election production alongside recurring electoral registration work. Suppliers need the operational capacity to print, pack and distribute multiple types of election material, including postal voting packs and ballot papers, and to manage both planned election schedules and unscheduled elections. Accuracy and dependable handling are important because the materials support statutory and legally compliant processes. The requirement also includes steady year-round business-as-usual production for rolling registration, as well as the annual canvass. Small and medium-sized enterprises are considered suitable to bid. A supplier with proven experience coordinating secure, accurate print production and fulfilment across changing deadlines is well placed to meet the range of work. ## Notice This contract is for delivery of print services for elections and electoral registration for Wyre Borough Council.
