In brief

Post Office Limited has announced plans to buy IT and software 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 £7,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 10 years, starting 1 April 2027.

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

Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 3 bids per contract for this buyer (from 7 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 £7,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Provision of a Source to Settle/Procure to Pay System, including implementation and ongoing support.

  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.
