The contract has been awarded with a total value of £1,400,000 and is set to commence on 1st June 2017, concluding on 30th June 2020. The procurement followed a selective method, utilising a call-off from an existing framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 31st May 2017, with the award officially announced on 22nd May 2017.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses within the postal and logistics sectors, particularly those offering collection, sortation, and delivery services. Companies that can ensure integration with HMRC's chosen print service providers and demonstrate capability in handling pre-sorted and unsorted mail would be particularly suited to participate. Given the scale of the contract, larger organisations may have a competitive edge, but proficient SMEs in the logistics domain could also explore potential subcontracting opportunities.
