Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hackney procured postal collection and delivery services across London. The work covers collecting and delivering letters and parcels, including logging and tracking recorded and special-delivery items. It is a local-authority requirement for routine postal services, rather than telecommunications work. The contract was awarded to Royal Mail.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Hackney made a direct award call-off from the Crown Commercial Service’s RM6280 Postal Services and Solutions framework, Lot 2, without a separate competition. Royal Mail was the selected supplier; one bid was recorded. The award criteria shown are placeholders, and the award followed the objective call-off terms in the framework rather than a fresh price-and-quality evaluation. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026, with a value of £432,000. The available contract information does not state a contract period.

For postal operators competing for similar local-authority requirements, this award indicates demand for dependable, London-wide collection and delivery of letters and parcels, with operational capability to log and track recorded and special-delivery items. Credible suppliers would need the network, workforce and systems to handle regular collections and deliveries across a borough’s services, while maintaining traceability for items requiring proof of handling. Hackney used a call-off from an established postal-services framework, so access to the relevant framework and compliance with its call-off terms are central to competing through this route. The selected provider was a large national operator, illustrating the scale of supplier used for this requirement.
