A  12-month out of scope extension of security guarding services in Russian Network contract which will expire on 30/09/2023. 
Due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Post is now considered an unfriendly state by the Russian government,  making it almost impossible to run a procurement process as there are limited organisations willing to conduct business with Post/meet our requirements.
