The contract is for a Managed Service Provider of courier services, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days per year via their own network and third party providers for delivery of packages, goods and equipment of varying dimensions and weights.

Three main services are required: same day National courier services, next day / overnight courier services and international courier services.
