Supply of Annual Canvass Forms
Authority: Caerphilly County Borough Council (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionCaerphilly County Borough Council appointed a contractor for Supply of Annual Canvass Forms for the annual canvassing registration project undertaken by the Council every year in order to make sure that the register of electors is kept up to date.
- The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 1 Dec 2030, 23:59 GMT.
- How the procedure runs: This procurement will be evaluated as a two-stage process: Stage One - The first stage of the evaluation process will consist of the Conditions of Participation using the Welsh Procurement Specific Questionnaire (“WPSQ”). Stage Two - The second stage of the evaluation process will consist of the Award Criteria.
- No preliminary market engagement: A Preliminary Market Engagement Notice was not published as the authority has sufficient knowledge of the market from previous, similar procurements and the requirements are clearly defined. Early market engagement was therefore not considered necessary or proportionate, and the decision does not impact transparency, fairness, or competition.
