Summary of the contracting process

The Office for National Statistics (ONS), located in Newport, Wales, conducted a procurement process to secure site-to-site courier services across multiple ONS sites in the UK. The industry category falls under courier services (CPV code 64120000). This tender process, initially launched under a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement, has concluded the award stage, with the contract awarded to Citysprint (UK) Limited. The tender period ended on 30 June 2025, and the contract commenced on 1 July 2025, running until 30 June 2028.

This secured contract, valued at £460,000, offers substantial business growth opportunities for SMEs, especially those specialising in logistics and secure courier services. As the awarded contract opens avenues for Citysprint (UK) Limited to enhance its network and scale, other similar businesses can look to framework agreements as effective channels to vie for comparable opportunities with large public sector organisations like the ONS.
