## Summary

The Hertfordshire NHS Procurement is seeking to provide second-class postal services, with a total contract value of £550,000, stemming from a completed tender process. The procurement was officially awarded on 25th August 2017, with the contract period commencing from 1st September 2017 and extending until 31st August 2019. The delivery addresses will be situated in the East of England, United Kingdom. This was an open tender process that concluded on 1st August 2017, prior to the announcement of the awarded contract.
