In plain English
Wyre Borough Council wants a printing company to produce and send out the printed materials used for elections and keeping the electoral register up to date. This covers items such as poll cards, postal voting packs, ballot papers, mayoral booklets, canvass forms and the matching envelopes. The contract is worth about £600,000 and would start on 4 January 2027 for two years, with an option to extend for a further 12 months.
What the buyer wants
• Print all election and electoral registration materials to the council's specifications, including poll cards, postal votes, ballot papers, booklets and canvass forms, for both scheduled and unscheduled elections. • Handle the printing, folding, envelope filling and postal fulfilment, meeting statutory deadlines so that voters receive their materials on time. • Keep print runs secure and accurate, protecting personal data and ballot materials throughout production and delivery, and supply the year-round print needed for rolling registration.
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
Without a proven record of secure, high-volume electoral print work and the data security certifications, plus capacity to hit fixed statutory election deadlines, most small printers would be unable to meet the qualification stage.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
