Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Epping Forest District Council appointed a supplier to provide postal services and solutions. The requirement is for postal service delivery, classified under CPV 64110000, and is described as an appointment for postal services and solutions. The work is associated with Epping, Essex, with the delivery address identified by postcode CM16 4BZ. This is a services contract called off from the Government Commercial Agency’s Postal Services and Solutions framework, Lot 6. The council is the buyer, and the service requirement is specific to its postal operations rather than a general print-management commission.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to PSL Print Management Limited. The award was made on 1 September 2026. Its value is £879,880, and the contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, specifically the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6280 Postal Services and Solutions framework, Lot 6. The tender deadline was 16 July 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No separate award scoring criteria or lot-by-lot breakdown is recorded; the call-off relates to Lot 6 of the framework.

For suppliers that missed this award, it demonstrates that Epping Forest District Council buys postal services and solutions through a framework call-off, rather than a standalone open competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to deliver postal services reliably for a council’s operational needs and be eligible to compete through the relevant framework route. The work is suited to small and medium-sized enterprises, so a supplier need not be a large business to be a potential fit. PSL Print Management Limited was selected, indicating that print-management providers with the capability to supply postal services may be relevant competitors, though the procurement does not set out specific technical standards, service volumes or accreditations.
