Modification of 22/10/24 decision to extend
existing contract with CFH Docmail for one year, in accordance with
provisions in the current contract.

As stated on 22/10/24 there are a number of variables including the
number of documents and the price of postage.
The timing and amount of Royal Mail increases are an unknown.
Further advice is that an upper cap of £60,000 would be more
appropriate in case there is an increase before the annual bills
and notifications are posted.

CFH Docmail provides printing services for the annual council tax
bills, benefit and LCTS notifications and annual rent letters. The
cost has increased by RPI of 3.6%. Cost including postage estimated
at between £46,000 and £60,000 excluding VAT. This will
depend on actual numbers at the time of printing and posting.
