Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council has concluded a public procurement process for the provision of hybrid mail services under the title "Hybrid Mail." The procurement falls under the services category and is classified under CPV code 79571000 (Mailing services). This contract, valued at £77,274, involves services to be delivered within the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement was executed using a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates include the tender period ending on 20th January 2025 and the contract period running from 1st February 2025 to 31st January 2026. The procurement process has progressed to the award stage, with the award being published on 6th February 2025.

This procurement presents business growth opportunities, particularly for established companies capable of handling large-scale mailing services. While the contract was awarded to Xerox (UK) Limited, a large enterprise, other similar businesses with robust mail management systems could find future opportunities in this sector. Companies specialising in hybrid mail solutions, especially those that can offer innovation and efficiency under framework agreements, are well-suited to compete in similar tenders put out by public sector organisations like Southampton City Council.
