Summary of the contracting process

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority has completed the procurement of a Mailing Solution contract on behalf of West Yorkshire Police. This procurement falls under the hardware industry category and utilises the selective procurement method as a call-off from the CCS Postal Services & Solutions Framework (RM6280). The project is located in the Yorkshire and the Humber region, with key milestones including the contract award date on 1st March 2025, followed by the contract period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2028. The total contract value is £167,046.33, and it is designed to benefit small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

This procurement opportunity creates substantial growth potential for businesses specialising in providing hardware solutions, particularly those experienced in mailing technologies. SMEs, especially in the hardware sector, will find it advantageous to align their offerings with framework agreements similar to this, as it opens pathways to serving public sector bodies such as the police. The successful supplier, Quadient UK Limited, underscores the need for competitive adaptability and innovation within the framework's confines to capitalise on such opportunities and harness long-term business relationships with public authorities.
