## Summary

The Crown Prosecution Service has completed a contracting process to award a contract for the provision of same day courier services. The procurement involved a direct award for post and courier services, classified under the industry category CPV code 64100000. The procurement method utilised was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £3,294,000, is scheduled to run from 9th February 2026 to 7th August 2027, covering deliveries across England and Wales. The contracting process reached the award stage on 3rd March 2026, with Citysprint (Uk) Limited being selected as the supplier.

Although the contract was awarded to a large supplier, Citysprint (Uk) Limited, other businesses in the logistics and transportation sector may benefit from similar opportunities within framework agreements. Organisations that can offer efficient, reliable, and flexible delivery solutions will find growth potential in the service demands outlined, particularly those able to operate across multiple regions in the UK.
