Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Franking Machine and Folder Inserter Lease" has been officially awarded by HM Revenue & Customs, located at 100 Parliament Street, London. This contract falls under the services category with a legal basis linked to UKPGA 2023/54. It is intended to provide franking machines and folder inserter services. The procurement method was direct, below threshold, and proceeded without competition to PITNEY BOWES LIMITED, a large-scale supplier. The contract was signed on 17th July 2025, with a performance period from 17th July 2025 to 16th July 2026. The contract value is approximately £17,739, excluding VAT, and is active as of the latest update on 15th August 2025.

This procurement provides significant opportunities for growth within the office machinery and postal services sectors.

Companies with a robust strategic partnership approach and tailored service offerings for central government agencies, like PITNEY BOWES LIMITED, may find themselves well-suited to compete in this space.
