UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Post Office Limited commissioned wholesale cash consultancy through a call-off from its Supply Chain Consultancy Framework. The requirement is business and management consultancy, focused on wholesale cash; the scope is described as a statement of work under the framework. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a single-lot services requirement for the Post Office, rather than a purchase of cash or cash-handling equipment. The selected consultancy is PA Consulting Services Limited.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Post Office used a selective, below-threshold award under its existing framework; the call-off was non-competitive. PA Consulting Services Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 26 September to 30 October 2026. Its value is £377,000 excluding VAT (£452,400 including VAT). The award is recorded as active. No award evaluation criteria are stated in the published procurement details.

This award demonstrates demand from the Post Office for specialist advice on wholesale cash and supply-chain matters, bought through a call-off from its consultancy framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need demonstrable business and management consultancy capability, with experience directly relevant to wholesale cash and the ability to deliver a focused statement of work for the Post Office. PA Consulting Services Limited, a large consultancy, won this call-off, indicating that the buyer selected an established provider for the assignment. Suppliers should be prepared to compete through the relevant framework route and to evidence expertise aligned closely with the wholesale cash requirement, rather than relying on general consultancy credentials alone.
