The contract is valued at £149,000,000 and will be in effect from 1st September 2023 to 31st August 2025. The procurement stage is complete, and the contract was awarded using a selective procurement method with a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract includes key deliverables ensuring 99% of mail is delivered to the Royal Mail Access Point within agreed timescales. This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses in the postal and courier services sector. Companies in this industry, especially those with experience in large-scale mail handling and deliveries, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The contract, organised by the Department for Work and Pensions, provides a 2-year opportunity with the potential for two 1-year extension periods, offering stability and scope for growth for successful bidders. ## Notice The Bulk Mail contract covers the collection and delivery of 2nd class mail (including physical mail items up to 2kg). Collections are made from 19 fixed sites and delivered throughout the whole of the United Kingdom. The majority of the mail output is collected from APS print centres, the Departments Bulk Print supplier. However, there are a number of DWP operational locations that also utilise this service as a cost effective alternative to Royal Mail 2nd class services. The key deliverable is that 99% of mail is delivered to the Royal Mail (RM) Access Point to allow 'Final Mile' delivery by RM to the end customer within agreed timescales. Additional information: Contract awarded for 2 years from 1/9/23 to 31/8/25 at a value of PS67,472,846. Total value of contract is PS149,000,000 including the optional 2 x 1 year extension periods. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e377796-a69a-4cae-a250-37e8f1f5e3af | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Jun 2023 | | Submission deadline | 17 Jan 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 4 Jun 2023 | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2023 - 31 Aug 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £67,472,846 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £149,000,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR WORK AND PENSIONS | | Locality | BLACKPOOL | | Post town | Blackpool | | Postcode | FY4 5ES | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD42 Blackpool | | Local authority | Blackpool | | Electoral ward | Stanley | | Westminster constituency | Blackpool South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | DHL PARCEL UK LTD T/A UK MAIL | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 64 - Postal and telecommunications services ### Codes - 64000000 - Postal and telecommunications services - 64100000 - Post and courier services ## Release History - 23 Jun 2023 at 15:08 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e377796-a69a-4cae-a250-37e8f1f5e3af - 23 Jun 2023 at 15:06 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e377796-a69a-4cae-a250-37e8f1f5e3af - 23 Jun 2023 at 15:03 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e377796-a69a-4cae-a250-37e8f1f5e3af - 21 Jun 2023 at 15:27 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e377796-a69a-4cae-a250-37e8f1f5e3af - 21 Jun 2023 at 15:22 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e377796-a69a-4cae-a250-37e8f1f5e3af - 21 Jun 2023 at 15:17 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e377796-a69a-4cae-a250-37e8f1f5e3af - 21 Jun 2023 at 15:10 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e377796-a69a-4cae-a250-37e8f1f5e3af ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e377796-a69a-4cae-a250-37e8f1f5e3af 23rd June 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - http://N/A Contract Value Note - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/23da53e0-958c-47a0-a964-44a9c26b7ac3 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f85a63cb-7fe9-457c-8a16-f0c32e3bc917 n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
