Postal Tenders and Contracts

See open postal tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.

Councils, universities and government departments buy postal and mail services as standing contracts, usually covering collection, sorting and delivery of letters and parcels between sites and to residential and business addresses. Royal Mail wins a recurring share of the awarded notices, alongside courier operators, franking machine suppliers and hybrid mail providers bidding for the same work.

  • How do I find postal tenders in the UK public sector?

    Search live and pre-tender postal service notices, or move earlier by reading buyers' shared-services strategy documents before a tender is published. On Stotles you can track a buyer through to the live tender and the eventual award.

  • What kind of postal work appears in these tenders?

    Standing contracts for mail collection, sorting and delivery between an organisation's own sites, and outbound mail to residential and business addresses. Larger notices sometimes bundle postal services with wider courier and parcel delivery work, and equipment notices for franking machines and hybrid mail solutions turn up alongside the service contracts.

  • Is this the same as courier tenders?

    The two overlap closely, since many suppliers provide both postal and courier services under one contract. This page is scoped to notices where postal or mail delivery is the named service, whether or not courier work is bundled alongside it.

  • What CPV codes cover postal tenders?

    A general postal services heading covers most of it, with a separate courier services code picking up work that overlaps the two. They are not applied as a filter on this page: plenty of on-intent postal notices carry a general courier or transport code instead.
