Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contract titled "Provision of Postal Services and Solutions" was managed by Epping Forest District Council, located in Epping, England. This tender, falling under the industry category of postal and printing services (CPV 64110000 and 79810000), has been awarded, marking the process as complete. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement. Initially awarded on 18th July 2022, the contract's period extends from 1st October 2022 to 30th September 2026, after a one-year extension was added, with the potential for another year's extension. The contracted value for these services amounts to £800,000 GBP, with primary service delivery expected in the CM16 4BZ postal area.

This procurement presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for firms engaged in postal and printing services. The call-off from a framework agreement allows businesses that are suitably pre-qualified to participate, often benefiting Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), which are considered suitable for this contract. Large businesses, such as PSL PRINT MANAGEMENT LTD, the awarded supplier, would also find alignment due to the scale of operations required. This contract facilitates broader engagement and demonstrates potential scalability in services offered, providing a platform for expanding existing business portfolios in public procurement contracts.
