Summary of the contracting process

This tender process, led by Islington Council, focuses on the provision of Outgoing Mail Service within the IT services category, which includes consulting, software development, Internet, and support for contracts based in the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, with Capita Business Services Ltd having been awarded the contract. Key dates include the contract period commencing on 1 April 2025 and concluding on 31 March 2026, with the award having been published on 26 June 2025. The contract was pursued through a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement.

The procurement process creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services and business solutions, providing avenues for venture expansion and collaboration. Large-scale enterprises are most suited for this type of service contract, as the suitability requirements do not favour SMEs or VCSE entities. Given the contract’s value of £140,766, this tender presents substantial potential for financial growth and strategic positioning within the public services sector, particularly for companies capable of meeting the technical and service delivery standards outlined by the awarding authority, Islington Council.
