United Kingdom : Royal Mail appointed to Scottish Ministers Postal Services Framework
Publish Date : 20-Oct-2016
Royal Mail has been appointed to a three year framework to provide Scottish Public Bodies with Postal Services. The framework, awarded after a competitive tender by Scottish Procurement, means that the Universal Service Postal provider becomes the successful supplier for Scottish Government, local authority and public body postal services.
The new framework is split into two Lots covering physical and hybrid mail and scheduled and regular bulk mail. Royal Mail now services both Lots of the framework which includes the sortation and delivery of all hybrid mail and the sortation and delivery of bulk mail across the country. Associated print work will be carried out by Royal Mails partner CFH Docmail Ltd, based in Livingston.
Cabinet Secretary for Finance and the Constitution, Derek Mackay, said: Congratulations to Royal Mail on its appointment to the Scottish Ministers Postal Services Framework for at least the next three years. This will deliver savings across the public sector and ensure national coverage for organisations across Scotland.
Rob Jenson, Operations Director, North, Royal Mail said: As the UKs Universal Service Provider and one of the largest employers in Scotland, Royal Mail is proud to serve the Scottish Government and the whole of Scotland. Working together with Scottish Procurement, we have secured a great deal for all contracting bodies across the country.
The awarding of this contract is testament to the hard work and dedication of our 11,000 postmen and women across Scotland. They provide a high quality service to 2.5 million addresses, six days a week.
