The tender, titled "Postal Charges - CTO pre-paid envelopes postage charges (Extension Period)", falls under the industry category of postal services. This selective procurement was conducted via a call-off from a framework agreement and now resides in the award stage, with the contract being granted to Royal Mail Group Limited.
