What is being bought
The six district-level authorities in Gloucestershire are working together to procure a printing contract for all election and electoral registration requirements.
The contract will be between the supplier and the six authorities[DR2.1][LG2.2] (Cotswold District Council, Cheltenham Borough Council, Forest of Dean District Council, Stroud District Council, Tewkesbury Borough Council, Gloucester City Council), with Cotswold District Council as the lead authority (“Lead Authority”). The procurement process and subsequent contract will be managed by the Electoral Services Manager of Cotswold District Council.
The existing contract for election and registration printing is due to finish in January 2027. The new contract is split into two areas: election printing and electoral registration and will follow legislative requirements for printing.
The contract will be for 3 years with the option to extend for a further 2 years (plus 1, plus 1) from the start of the contract which is expected to be 31 January 2027
