Postal and Print Services
£9,078,893 — stated in the notice
This is a large award for Postal & Telecommunications — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 2,074 valued Postal & Telecommunications tenders in our corpus.
Student Loans Company has published 5 Postal & Telecommunications notices, about every 9 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around December 2026.
25% of Student Loans Company’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
