The brief

The British Forces Post Office (BFPO), part of the Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) within the Ministry of Defence (MoD), provides a worldwide postal service to Permanent Joint Operating Bases and fixed base locations, as well as HM Ships and support to Operations and Exercises.

The organisation is now considering the requirement for provision of services for the secure conveyance for HM Forces Mail, post September 2018.

The Mail (letters and cards, large letters, small packets, and parcels up to 30Kgs in weight) would be despatched by BFPO in mail bags for both an Outbound service and an Inbound service (although it should be noted that not all Locations require an inbound service): the former would be a service that commences at either London Heathrow or London Gatwick; and the latter, a service that concluded at either London Heathrow or London Gatwick.

Other aspects of the requirement are described later in this Notice.
