Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Bromley procured incoming and outgoing mail services: collection and delivery of letters, large letters and parcels for the council. The requirement covers the council’s post-room mail operation, with approximately 219,000 items sent annually and an average of around 22,000 dispatched each month. Delivery is for the borough of Bromley. This is a postal and parcel collection and delivery service, rather than a purchase of mailroom equipment or a general logistics contract. The work concerns both incoming and outgoing items and encompasses letters, larger letters and parcels.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Royal Mail Group Ltd. Bromley used a direct award under Lot 2 of the Government Commercial Agency’s Postal Services & Solutions framework (RM6280), without a prior competition. Price was the stated evaluation basis, and one bid was recorded. The contract value is £241,500. It was signed on 12 October 2026; no contract period or award date is stated in the published process data. The requirement was organised as one lot, but that lot is marked cancelled while the associated award is active. The process is reported as complete and the award remains active, so the recorded cancellation relates to the lot rather than a cancellation of the award.

For suppliers considering similar future postal work for Bromley, this award indicates a recurring requirement covering the collection and delivery of substantial volumes of incoming and outgoing letters, large letters and parcels. A credible provider would need the operational capacity to handle regular post-room dispatch at the stated monthly scale, alongside reliable collection and delivery arrangements for all three item types. The route used here was a direct award through the Government Commercial Agency’s postal services framework, so framework access and the ability to supply under its terms were central to competing by this route. The stated evaluation basis was price; a supplier would therefore need to offer competitive pricing while demonstrating it can sustain the council’s ongoing mail service.
