Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service procured hybrid mail services under the “Hybrid Mail, Digital and Transformational” requirement. The service combines physical and digital document production, processing and distribution, supporting the organisation’s postal services and solutions needs. It is a service contract for work delivered in Scotland. The requirement sits within the wider Postal Services & Solutions framework and is relevant to providers of hybrid mail, transactional communications, document management, digital mail transformation and related distribution services. The named buyer is the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service, a public body responsible for court and tribunal services. The procurement covers one requirement, rather than a collection of separately described service areas.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through an open procedure. CFH Docmail Ltd was selected for the hybrid mail, digital and transformational requirement. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and is active, with an awarded contract value of £685,000. The evaluation outcome records one bid, which was submitted electronically by an SME. The procurement was conducted as one lot under the Postal Services & Solutions framework. The award is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The available outcome information identifies the successful supplier and contract value; the requirement was not cancelled or terminated. This is an award outcome, not an invitation to submit a bid.

This award is commercially relevant to suppliers that can deliver hybrid mail at public-sector scale, combining secure document handling, physical mail production and distribution with digital communication and transformation services. Competitors would need an integrated capability rather than a single-channel postal offer: the requirement indicates demand for operational mail fulfilment alongside digital and transformational delivery. Experience serving public bodies, managing sensitive or high-volume correspondence, and operating reliably across Scotland would help establish credibility with this buyer. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large national organisation. Providers tracking public-sector postal and document-communications work can use this award as a clear benchmark for the buyer’s service mix and supplier profile.
