Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health has awarded a contract for the provision of Royal Mail services to its London estate, specifically covering the financial year 2015/16. The award, valued at £160,000, falls under the category of post and courier services. Key procurement details indicate that the contract period spans from 17 February 2015 to 16 February 2018. The procurement process was conducted through a tender, and the contract was published on 14 February 2018 for transparency, although it predates the current version of Contracts Finder.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in postal and courier services, especially those experienced in working with public sector clients. Companies that can deliver reliable, efficient postal solutions will find themselves well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future. As the procurement method was not held centrally, diverse suppliers, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), could explore potential avenues for collaboration or subcontracting to enhance their chances in public procurement opportunities.
