Tender description

**Please Note** This is an award notice and the opportunity is now closed. The City of London Corporation (the City) invited Tenders for the provision of a Revenues Print and Mailing Service. City Revenues is responsible for the collection of most income due to the City of London Corporation: Council Tax, NNDR (Business Rates), Commercial Rents, Residential Service Charges and Sundry Debts. The required Service will cover daily, annual billing and ad hoc printing of multiple personalised bills, reminders, recovery and survey documentation, including where required, personalised payment documentation for NNDR, BIDs and Council Tax. Annual Billing for NNDR, BID, and Council Tax are critical annual processes which cannot fail. Full end to end Annual Billing testing is a key Service requirement as well as meeting live annual billing deadlines. The initial Service may be extended to other documents issued by City Revenues such as Commercial Rents and Sundry Debts at the request of the City Revenues Management Team during the length of the Contract. The Service will also include printing and dispatch of one-off or mail merge personalised documents using a Hybrid Mail solution. The Service required a robust daily document control and balancing process including dispatch to Postal Provider is essential to allow an audit trail for recovery processes. The duration of the contract is five (5) years, with the option to extend up to two (2) further years in annual increments. The Contract is intended to commence 1st October 2021 to 30th September 2026.
