Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has finalised the procurement process for the "International Mail Services" contract, aimed at facilitating communication with overseas customers by delivering printed notifications internationally. This project falls under the services category with a focus on post and courier services, specifically under the CPV classification code 64100000. The procurement stage is now at the award phase, having been completed with G3 Worldwide Mail (UK) Ltd as the awarded supplier. The selective procurement method was employed through a call-off from a framework agreement, with a contract period set from 1st December 2025 to 30th November 2028. While the procurement process's tender period concluded on 23rd July 2025, the formal award was published on 12th November 2025. The delivery areas include the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

This tender creates significant business growth opportunities, especially for those in the mailing and logistics industry, offering a substantial contract valued at £3,200,300. With an emphasis on international reach, businesses that possess expertise in large-scale postal operations and have the logistical capacity to handle global deliveries are well-suited to compete. As the tender is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, it presents a rare opportunity for SMEs to collaborate with a major government department like the DWP and potentially establish a long-term commercial relationship.
