Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Prosecution Service has completed a contracting process to award a contract for the provision of same day courier services. The procurement involved a direct award for post and courier services, classified under the industry category CPV code 64100000. The procurement method utilised was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement.
