The Scottish Procurement and Property Directorate (SPPD) is the organisation tasked with procuring requirements on behalf of Scottish Public Bodies. The current Postal Services Framework is due to expire on 30 June 2025. Initial work has commenced in developing a draft procurement strategy including canvassing stakeholders across the public sector. In order to complete and finalise the strategy SPPD recognises the value of suppliers having the opportunity to contribute to the process on a non-competitive and non-judgemental basis.
This request for information is aimed at collating views from market participants. The information gathered may be used in developing the procurement strategy and deliver contractual arrangements for postal services requirements.
Suppliers and other interested parties should read and complete the attached request for information questionnaire, using the following link: https://forms.office.com/e/zYJ3kzfuQL
