Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Post Office Limited for the "FTC placement" contract has reached the award stage, with the details published on 2 January 2026. This contract involves services classified under recruitment, primarily in the United Kingdom. The procurement method was direct, indicating a below-threshold process without competition, and New Street Consulting group was identified as the supplier for this contract. The contract period started on 24 June 2025 and is set to end on 14 December 2025, containing provisions for automatic rollover unless terminated.

The fixed-term contract for recruitment services presents a notable growth opportunity for businesses specialised in consultancy and placement services. Large firms, like New Street Consulting group, are well-suited to deliver on such contracts, especially given the direct procurement process chosen by Post Office Limited — a central government public authority. The service-oriented nature of this award supports scalability for firms capable of adapting to the specific needs of public sector clients. Interested businesses located in the UK or with operational capabilities in UK regions should consider similar opportunities in future contract cycles with Post Office Limited.
