Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Litigation Authority has completed a public procurement process for "Mail Management Services" under the framework call-off RM6280 Lot 6. This procurement falls under the "services" category, specifically focusing on postal services (CPV code 64110000), and was conducted without prior publication of a call for competition, involving a limited award procedure. The procurement, primarily serving locations in London (UKI), aimed to appoint a service provider for inbound and outbound digital mail management, crucial for the Authority's document handling. The process concluded with an active contract awarded on 6th June 2025 to Xerox (UK) Limited, following the submission of bids with a lowest and highest valid bid value of £400,000 GBP each.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for firms specialising in digital mail and postal services, particularly those capable of handling large-scale operations for public health organisations. Whilst the contract has been awarded to a large-scale provider like Xerox (UK) Limited, similar future tenders may benefit small to medium enterprises with robust digital and physical mail management solutions. Businesses aiming to engage in such procurement processes should prepare to offer competitive bids, focusing on cost-efficiency and technological adequacy for high-security and high-volume document management needs. Such capabilities can facilitate entry into government contracts and establish reputations in the public health sector.
