Crown Commercial Service · Central government

In brief

Crown Commercial Service has announced plans to buy security and transport work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £2,700,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 3 years, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 1 September 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 22.5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 130 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £2,700,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

This commercial agreement will be the recommended vehicle for all postal services and solutions required by UK Central Government. This procurement is for the provision of a multi Supplier Framework Contract which will consist of multiple lots covering various requirements for Postal Goods and Services to meet the current and future needs of the public sector. The new Framework Contract will replace the existing Framework Contract (RM6280 Postal Goods and Services) and includes services that will capture new technologies and innovations to support Buyers in adopting improved communications processes and transforming their mailroom operations to become more digital environments.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
