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
Preliminary Market Engagement for Transfer Station and Brokerage Services – Dry Recycling and Food Waste
Cotswold District Council (CDC) is seeking to engage the market to inform future procurements for transfer station and brokerage services. These services support the household recycling and food waste collection service that is delivered by Ubico.
This engagement is intended to test proposed approaches to an upcoming procurement together with the longer-term strategy for transfer station provision, with consideration of the level of change that is likely in Gloucestershire in the medium to long-term due to Local Government Organisation (LGR) and policy development impacting the waste sector.
Participation in this engagement is voluntary and will not form part of any future procurement process or confer any advantage.
CDC does not intend to issue clarifications in response to this engagement. Suppliers are therefore invited to respond based on the information provided.
