Summary of the contracting process

The Norwich City Council has recently completed a tender process for postal collection and delivery services, necessary to ensure the continuity of written correspondence following the expiry of the previous contract on 16 February 2021. The award is valued at £813,000 and is part of the services category. The contract period runs from 17 February 2021 to 16 February 2024, and the procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement. This procurement process concluded on 14 February 2021, with the award notice published on 22 July 2021.

This tender presents notable opportunities for postal service providers, especially those with capabilities in handling both letters and parcels. Companies involved in logistical services, particularly those with established frameworks in place, would be well-positioned to seek out similar contracts or engage in subcontracting arrangements. The ongoing demand for reliable postal services in the East of England suggests a continuing market for businesses able to deliver high-quality service in this essential industry.
