Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire East Council recently completed a procurement process to manage the postage costs for the delivery of annual canvass and reminder forms through their business account. The procurement, classified under post and courier services (CPV: 64100000), covers the delivery to properties across Cheshire East, particularly in rural areas. The direct award method was used, and the contract ran from 20 September 2024 to 30 October 2024, with a tender period that ended on 1 August 2024. The total value of the contract is £55,000, and the award was finalised on 25 October 2024.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies involved in postal and courier services, particularly those capable of handling large-scale deliveries to varied regions, including rural areas. While this tender was directly awarded to Royal Mail Group Limited, businesses of similar scale and capacity could consider preparing for future opportunities with Cheshire East Council or similar governmental bodies looking for reliable and large-scale delivery services. This contract was particularly critical for ensuring timely and widespread distribution, thus suiting large, established courier service providers.
