## Summary

London Borough of Hackney buys postal collection and delivery services for letters, large letters and parcels across London. The service includes logging and tracking recorded and special-delivery items, with a complete, uninterrupted audit trail for each consignment or batch from collection to delivery. This supports the Council’s statutory work, including recovering unpaid taxes. The procurement is for postal services, rather than telecommunications. Delivery is described as within London; no more specific delivery locations are identified. The individual Council made the direct award as a call-off from a Government Commercial Agency postal services framework, specifically its collection and delivery lot. The requirement centres on reliable end-to-end handling and traceability of mail and parcels for Council operations.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Royal Mail Group Limited on 24 August 2026. The award value is £432,000. The contract period runs from 13 September 2026 to 12 September 2027. This was an interim direct award and call-off from the Government Commercial Agency RM6280 Postal Services Framework, Lot 2, which covers collection and delivery of letters, large letters and parcels. The award was made by the individual Council. The tender response deadline was 24 August 2026. No lots are separately detailed within this Council’s award. The stated procurement category is services; the available data does not describe a separate scored evaluation or provide further award criteria.

The award shows that Hackney’s postal requirement combines routine collection and delivery of letters and parcels with controlled handling of recorded and special-delivery items. A credible supplier for this work needs the operational capacity to manage consignments across London and to maintain a complete, reliable audit trail from collection through delivery, including logging and tracking. Traceability is particularly important because the service supports statutory functions such as tax recovery, where the Council needs evidence of handling and delivery. The route used here was a direct call-off from a postal services framework, so experience and eligibility under an appropriate framework route would be relevant to competing for a comparable requirement. The Council’s stated assessment does not set out specific accreditations, technical thresholds or other supplier qualifications.
