## Description
1. Introduction
1.1. The Electoral Registration Officer is required to complete and annual canvass of all households within the district. Part of this process requires sending a communication to each household with follow up communications to non-responding properties. This specification seeks to outline the printing and postage requirements for that process and to obtain costings for these requirements.
2. Background
Electoral Registration Officer: shall have the meaning given in section 8 of the Representation of the People Act 1983 in so far as it relates to the District of Tendring.
2.1. The Authority provides resources to the Electoral Registration Officer for the District to enable them to perform their statutory functions. These resources include Canvass Print Services in which the data of those included on the electoral register are processed.
2.2. Due to the volume of forms required to complete this process it is not viable to complete in house.
2.3. The annual canvass must conclude by 1 December each year but can begin as early as June.
2.4. Data required to populate the items to be printed will be exported directly from the Electoral Management System.
2.5. No expected significant changes in the format of the annual canvass for the duration of the contract term.
2.6. Canvass is time sensitive with several deadlines that impact on other canvass activities. The supplier of print and post services will need to have sight of the pending and future deadlines so that any alterations to the timetable are agreed in advance and sufficiently adjusted throughout the canvass period.
3. Scope
The government's English Devolution White Paper, Power and Partnership: Foundations for Growth, published on 16 December 2024, states that the government wants all remaining two-tier areas in England to be eventually restructured into single-tier unitary authorities and is termed Local Government Reorganisation (LGR). This reorganisation is part of a broader devolution strategy to simplify local government structures, save public funds, and improve local accountability. LGR will impact the County of Essex as it currently operates a two-tier Local Government structure.
It is anticipated, that during the life of this contract/framework, the LGR process will commence and/or progress potentially impacting this contract/framework. Impacts may include, but are not limited to, modifications such as a transfer of the legal entity you currently contract with, significant increases and/or decreases in the value/volume of goods/services/works required due to the change in size/scope of the Contracting Authority, and/or changes to the scope of the nature of goods/services/works required. Although any contract scope changes should broadly relate to the nature of the existing scope, new goods/services/works of a related nature may be required that were not previously included.
The scale and exact timing of the changes are unknown at this point, but it is known that LGR will...
