Description
Ofcom is the communications regulator in the UK. We regulate the TV and radio sectors, fixed line telecoms, mobiles, postal services, plus the airwaves over which wireless devices operate. Ofcom operates under a number of Acts of Parliament. In accordance with Ofcom’s functions under the Postal Services Act 2011, Ofcom has imposed a Designated Universal Service Provider Condition (DUSP Condition) on Royal Mail Group Limited (Royal Mail). Among other things, this condition imposes certain Quality of Service standards on Royal Mail in connection with its provision of the Universal Postal Service. These standards include, for example, delivering: • 93% of first class letters within one working day; • 98.5% of second class letters within three working days; • 99% of special delivery letters by 1pm one working day after collection; and • Within certain postcode areas, 91.5% of first class letters within one working day Ofcom has a requirement for the monitoring of Royal Mail’s Quality of Service performance to be audited in line with the specifications of the Standards. The audit would involve critically assessing Royal Mail’s testing methodology for monitoring its performance in respect of the measurement of the transit time of end-to-end services for single price priority (First Class stamped and metered) mail and non-priority (Second Class stamped and metered) mail, in line with the Standards. Lot 1: Ofcom intends to run a procurement exercise for Royal Mail Quality of Service Audits, to be awarded to a single provider. The purpose of this Prior Information Notice is to inform interested service providers about Ofcom’s plans and its requirements (see Expression of Interest Form in the Attachments section of the Jaggaer portal). Subject to the number of Expressions of Interests received it is anticipated the procurement will be undertaken in line with the Open Procedure as set out in the Public Contracts Directive (and as implemented in the UK by the Public Contracts Regulations) and will commence when Ofcom publishes a Contract Notice in the Find a Tender Service. The Contract Notice is expected to be published during January 2021. The total value of the services is estimated in the range £420,000 - £480,000 ex VAT over the five year term of the contract. Interested parties should express their interest via the Ofcom eTendering portal, hosted by BravoSolution at the following link: www.ofcom.bravosolution.co.uk
