That the two-year
extension of the Mail Service contract with Royal Mail, the value
of the extension being an estimated £180k at £90,000 per annum to run from
16th September 2024 – 15th September
2026 be approved.
 
 
 

Reasons for the decision

The
current agreement with Royal Mail, that supports all of the
Council’s incoming and outgoing mail services reaches the end
date of its agreed contract term on 15 September 2024.
 
The
request to extend the current contract using the available contract
extension option to continue the 
delivery of Incoming and Outgoing Mail Services is being made in
order that the Council can continue to secure the best pricing
arrangement for continuation of Mail Services from September 2024
through to September 2026.
