Summary of the contracting process

Post Office Limited is conducting a procurement process for "POL EUC Managed Services," with the aim of acquiring repair, maintenance, and associated services related to personal computers, office equipment, telecommunications, and audio-visual equipment. The procurement falls under the services category, with a focus on IT services such as consulting, software development, internet, and support. This tender is part of an award update, marking the continuation of the contracting process initiated in 2021 and currently active. The procurement activity is primarily located in the UK and takes advantage of the legal framework set by CELEX’s Directive 2014/24/EU. Entserv UK Limited has been awarded the contract, with amendments made to accommodate additional capital works due to increased user numbers and technical obsolescence. The service period spans a total of 1800 days with a signed contract value of £65,112,573, showing significant investment in the essential technology infrastructure of Post Office branches.

This tender presents opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in IT services and equipment maintenance. With the high contract value and extended duration, it provides considerable financial and operational engagement, benefiting businesses capable of delivering comprehensive end-user computing services. Large suppliers with previous experience in such contracts, particularly those adept at handling public sector projects and capable of scale, are likely to be competitively positioned to expand their offerings and strengthen their reputation in this sector. The procurement method necessitates skilled operation due to the complexity and scope of replacing in-branch hardware and software upgrades across approximately 25,000 branch locations, suggesting a strong preference for experienced contractors ready to manage broad-scale tech deployment and support.

The Notice stated the value was PS23,176,003; this was the value for the initial 3 years term excluding the extended term. The contract is for a total of 5 years in duration, made up of a 3 year initial term and (optional) 1+1 or 2 year extension. The contract value is PS34,709,829 over the full 5 year term. An initial modification notice was published at https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030502-2024. This modification enacted the 2 year extension option and increased the contract value by PS14,002,744. This modification was to enable additional capital works and to account for higher than expected user numbers. A further modification is now required as it has become necessary that POL replace the in-branch hardware due to technical obsolescence. The most appropriate course of action is for POL's current EUC provider to deliver this work. The required modification is valued at PS16.4m. The services to be undertaken by DXC are: 1) Creation of a counter build 2) Physical build of the solution (hardware and software) 3) Storage of the counter hardware prior to deployment 4) Installation of circa 25,000 branch terminals and PIN entry devices 5) Software upgrades 6) Disposal of removed terminals",
                    "rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: It has become necessary that POL replace the in-branch hardware due to technical obsolescence. The most appropriate course of action is for POL's current EUC provider to deliver this work under PCR 2015 Regulation 72(1)(b). Failure to roll out the Hardware by October 2024 is a material risk to POL's ability to support trading through the provision of counter devices. Without this branches, will cease to be able to trade. Additionally, changing suppliers would cause significant inconvenience and substantial duplication of cost to POL."
