Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames is embarking on a procurement process to solicit Parcel Locker Services, operating within the post and courier services industry category. This procurement falls under the category of services and is currently in the planning stage. The key location for this contract is Richmond, a locality in the UK, indicating that potential service delivery will transpire within this venue. The Council is engaging in preliminary market engagement, with responses required by 21st July 2026. The procurement process is a concession contract and the Council is specifically using the Atamis e-sourcing platform for this engagement.

This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for organisations specialising in logistics and parcel management services.
