This project involves the purchase of top-up funds for leased franking machines, with the total contract value amounting to £100,000. The procurement, categorised under "Postage-franking machines" (CPV 30144100), was managed through a call-off from a framework agreement (CCS RM6017). The contract was awarded on 6th March 2025, with a contract period starting from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The procurement method used was selective, highlighting that Pitney Bowes Limited is the sole provider for this specific requirement, as stipulated by the framework agreement.
