Voting Compartments Manufacturing

The Electoral Commission is inviting tenders for the production of cardboard voting compartments, specifically designed for use during the upcoming 2026/2027 local government elections. Each pack will contain three compartments: two standard and one special for disabled voters, ensuring accessibility and privacy for all voters. The compartments must be made from white-faced recyclable fluted cardboard, with a minimum thickness of 3mm, and should be robust enough to withstand three days of use in a voting station. Bidders are encouraged to submit innovative designs within the provided specifications, while ensuring that all intellectual property rights are respected and that the final designs will remain the property of the Electoral Commission.

Key requirements include the ability to deliver a total of 31,000 packs by September 15, 2026, and adherence to strict quality control measures. The successful bidder will be responsible for ensuring that all compartments meet the specified dimensions, providing a stable writing surface, and maintaining the confidentiality of the voting process. This tender presents an opportunity for established manufacturers in the paper products industry to contribute to the democratic process while ensuring compliance with environmental standards through recyclable materials.
