The Electoral Commission’s current contract for print advisory services expires in March 2022 and we are seeking proposals from suitably qualified and experienced print advisors for the next contract period, commencing in November 2021.
The Commission’s printing requirements vary from relatively simple to complex jobs and include offset, digital and finishing services. The role is somewhat simplified due to access to the Commission’s own print supply panel which produces most of the items required, however, from time to time there is a requirement to source printing or specialist items from non-panel suppliers. The print advisor therefore must have extensive print knowledge and the demonstrated ability to source and manage the range and volume of material required.
The nature of the general election events will require the print advisor to be available at short notice and at times, for long hours. While non-general election years are considered ‘business as usual’, and do not require the same resources or effort, the Commission is responsible for managing any by-elections and referenda which can happen at relatively short notice and will require the print advisor to respond to printing needs for those events. The hours are not predictable or fixed.
A full description of services and indicative products and specifications are included in this RFP.
No Winner This tender has been cancelled effective May 2022 and no contract will be awarded. The print advisor services will be re-tendered after the next general election.
