The daily billing for the limited physical mail is administered by an
internal service.

packs, poll cards, annual canvass, grass skirts etc? When does your
current contract(s) end?

this also includes printing related to Revenues and Benefits. The
contract runs from April 2022 to April 2024, with a 2 year extension to
2026.
