Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, specifically the Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) and the British Forces Post Office (BFPO) Team, has recently completed a procurement process for the provision of services for the Overseas Conveyance of HM Forces Mail. This open tender, identified as BIP65714725, focuses on non-scheduled airmail transport services and is set in the London region, with the contract period commencing on 1st October 2018 and running until 30th September 2022. The tender period concluded on 22nd August 2018, and the total estimated contract value is £2,000,000.

This procurement presents valuable opportunities for logistics and transport companies, particularly those that specialise in airmail and freight services within the defence sector. Businesses that can provide secure and efficient mail handling and shipping capabilities, especially those with experience in international military logistics, will be well-suited to compete for similar contracts. The large-scale nature of the contract also means that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) interested in entering the defence supply chain may find this a beneficial opportunity for growth.
