Summary of the contracting process

The Staffordshire County Council is seeking to procure mail delivery services titled "Mail services," classified under the CPV code for mail delivery services (64121100). This tender is at the award stage, having been signed on 16 July 2021, with an operational period running from 1 November 2021 to 31 October 2022, and includes an option to extend for an additional year. The total value of the contract is £42,176 for the two-year period. The procurement method utilised was a limited award procedure conducted without prior publication, specifically chosen due to the necessity for a single supplier with the capability to provide late collection of mail relevant to first-class delivery.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses that offer first-class mail delivery solutions, particularly those able to handle urgent requests and specialise in late collection services. Suppliers equipped to fulfil the specifications required by Staffordshire County Council, such as those that possess the infrastructure for timely and reliable mail processing and delivery, would be well-suited to compete. Given the contract was awarded to Royal Mail, other contenders may focus on innovative or niche service provisions to differentiate themselves in future tenders.
