Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process led by Post Office Limited centres around the "Voucher Service Production & Management" contract. Dated 19th February 2026, the process has progressed to the award stage, with Huggg Limited identified as the successful supplier. This procurement falls within the security-type printed matter category and includes additional classifications such as software package and information systems, financial and insurance services, and printing-related services. Managed under an accelerated restricted procedure due to a higher-than-anticipated contract spend, the endeavour aims to ensure timely supplier appointment. The contract, valued at £4,850,000, will operate from 3rd February 2026 to 2nd February 2031, covering production services across the United Kingdom with the procurement period having initially concluded on 1st November 2024.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs equipped to supply specialised services related to printed materials and software packages. Due to the extensive involvement of security-type printed matter and software information systems, businesses with expertise in these areas may find the contract extremely beneficial. The contract is poised to support the transition period of the Post Office's services, providing a robust platform for expanding operations into national-level voucher service management. Firms with experience in the United Kingdom’s procurement landscape are well-suited to leverage their expertise for growth through participation and future engagements managed by the Post Office.
