Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Borders Council has awarded a contract for the supply of Postal Services under the scheduled/regular bulk mail category, following an open procurement process. The contract, valued at £72,244, is part of the Scottish Government National Framework and covers the period from 1st October 2019 to 31st March 2020. The primary location for this procurement is in Newtown St Boswells, UK, where the Council is based. The tender stage is complete, and interested parties can review the details documented in the award notice.

This contract represents an opportunity for postal service providers, particularly those experienced in bulk mail solutions, to engage with a local authority. Companies that specialise in logistical services, mailing solutions, and related support services would be well-positioned to compete. The use of a national framework could potentially streamline supply for those already familiar with government procurement standards, encouraging competition in the local market.
