UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Post Office Limited bought wholesale cash consultancy through a call-off from its Supply Chain Consultancy Framework. The requirement is business and management consultancy, focused on wholesale cash and the supply chain; the scope is described as a statement of work under the framework. The service is associated with delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a professional-services engagement for suppliers able to advise on wholesale cash operations and related supply-chain matters, rather than a purchase of cash-handling equipment or a general consultancy assignment. The contracting organisation is Post Office Limited, a public undertaking. The published procurement information identifies one service requirement and one supplier for the call-off.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to PA Consulting Services Limited. The call-off was made under an existing framework using a selective route, below the applicable threshold, and was not competitive. The award is active. The contract was signed on 8 October 2026 and runs from 9 to 19 October 2026. Its stated value is £135,000 excluding VAT (£162,000 including VAT). The requirement was handled as a single lot. No award evaluation criteria or eligibility conditions are set out in the process information. The contract period is short, covering a defined consultancy assignment rather than a long-running service arrangement.

For suppliers considering similar future work from Post Office Limited, this award demonstrates demand for specialist consultancy on wholesale cash and supply-chain matters, commissioned through the organisation’s Supply Chain Consultancy Framework. A credible competitor would need relevant expertise in business and management consultancy and the ability to address wholesale cash operations in a focused assignment. Experience analysing supply chains and translating findings into practical advice for a large, complex organisation would be pertinent to this type of work. The selected provider is a large consultancy, indicating that the buyer has used an established supplier for this engagement; this does not itself establish a size requirement for future work. Familiarity with framework call-offs would also help suppliers understand the route by which this buyer commissions consultancy.
