This procurement, classified under scheduled airmail transport services, is set to commence on 1st October 2018 and will run until 30th September 2022. The tender period ends on 17th July 2018, with services originating and concluding at London Heathrow or London Gatwick. This initiative aims to enhance the secure conveyance of mail for HM Forces at various overseas locations, crucially supporting the organisation's operational capabilities. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses looking to expand in the transport and logistics sector, particularly those capable of providing secure airmail transport services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as they can bring innovative solutions and competitive pricing to the table. Companies with experience in military logistics or those accustomed to handling international mail services would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice The British Forces Post Office (BFPO), part of the Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) within the Ministry of Defence (MoD), provides a worldwide postal service to Permanent Joint Operating Bases and fixed base locations, as well as HM Ships and support to Operations and Exercises. The organisation is now considering the requirement for provision of services for the secure conveyance for HM Forces Mail, post September 2018. The Mail (letters and cards, large letters, small packets, and parcels up to 30Kgs in weight) would be despatched by BFPO in mail bags for both an Outbound service and an Inbound service (although it should be noted that not all Locations require an inbound service): the former would be a service that commences at either London Heathrow or London Gatwick; and the latter, a service that concluded at either London Heathrow or London Gatwick. Other aspects of the requirement are described later in this Notice.
