Decision details

To award the contract for variable data print services to Financial Data Management Ltd, as a direct award under the Postal Goods Services and Solutions Framework, for a period of two years from 1 December 2021 to 30 November 2023, for a total value of up to £1.3m over two years.

A direct contract award under the Postal Goods Services and Solutions framework to the existing supplier is considered to be the most efficient and economically advantageous solution. The previous contract award was made through the framework and a competitive tendering exercise was also completed. Some of these services that are affected by this contract are currently going through a period of transformation, with a focus on improved digital delivery. As such, a two year contract award to the current supplier will enable short term service stability as this transformation continues and services focus on Covid recovery.

a)    Carry out a fully compliant regulated procurement exercise for the service

b)    Call-off from a suitable framework agreement for these services.
