Coverage: 90 active published awards; 20 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
The Supply of Mail Services for the Collection and Delivery of 1st and 2nd Class Mail (CWC23048MW) project is a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise issued by City of Wolverhampton Council to gather market intelligence ahead of procuring a high-volume outbound mail service
The Council processes approximately 850,000 mail items annually through its Civic Centre mailroom and is seeking cost-effective, secure, and efficient solutions for daily collection, pre-sorting, processing, and delivery to Royal Mail inbound centres. The PME aims to understand market capacity, pricing models, contract structures (single or multi-lot), technological efficiencies, sustainability options, and commercial approaches to inform the future procurement strategy for a proposed four-year contract (2+1+1) covering both 1st and 2nd Class mail services.
