## Summary

Bath and North East Somerset Council procured Hybrid Mail Services 2026, a services requirement combining office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies with post and courier services. The work supports the council’s hybrid mail operation and is delivered in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Bath and North East Somerset Council, based at The Guildhall in Bath. The requirement sits primarily within business support, document production and distribution services rather than construction or general IT consultancy. It is relevant to providers that can deliver an integrated service covering the equipment or supplies used for office mail production and the associated postal or courier activity. The named service category is post and courier services, alongside office and computing equipment and supplies.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award procedure. The tender submission deadline was 1 August 2026 at 23:59. Xerox (UK) Ltd was awarded the contract on 11 August 2026 for GBP 478,000. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The wider estimated procurement value was between GBP 478,000 and GBP 956,000. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one contract period. The procurement was not divided into lots in the published award information. The stated procurement category is services, with the requirement classified under office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies and post and courier services.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates established council demand for a sizeable, integrated hybrid mail service combining office mail production capability with postal and courier delivery. A credible competitor for this buyer would need the operational capacity to supply or support the relevant office and computing equipment and supplies, while also managing dependable onward distribution through postal or courier networks. The successful supplier is a large business, and the opportunity was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that scale, infrastructure and the ability to provide an end-to-end service are important competitive considerations. Relevant experience should cover public-sector or comparable high-volume document and mail operations, service continuity and coordinated delivery.
