Summary of the contracting process

Mole Valley District Council has completed the procurement process for its postal collection and delivery services, awarding the contract to Royal Mail Group Limited. The process fell under the 'Mail transport by road' industry category and included additional classifications like 'Mail transport by railway' and 'Mail delivery services'. This contract, following a procurement stage labelled as 'award', will commence on 1 October 2025 and run until 30 September 2028, with an option for two additional 24-month extensions. The initial contract value is £485,943.95 and covers services in diverse locations, including the UK and its territories, Europe, and beyond.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in logistics and mail delivery services. Companies with capacities to manage extensive networks, particularly those capable of offering road and rail transport solutions, could find great potential in similar tenders. While the contract has been awarded to a large, established firm, emerging enterprises might consider partnerships or subcontracting opportunities with Royal Mail Group Limited or future bids where niche specialisations and innovative delivery solutions are valued. This contract, with its extensive coverage and potential for future extension, suggests a stable demand for efficient, broad-reaching mail delivery services.
