Opportunity overview

The scope of the services includes: • Lease of a mid/high-volume franking machine (minimum capacity of 100 letters per minute) • Full maintenance and repair service, including engineer call-out within 8 hours (7 days per week) • Supply of consumables for the duration of the contract • Installation, configuration and training for LFB staff • Provision of reporting, analytics and online account management tools • Ongoing technical and account management support The machine must be fully compliant with Royal Mail ‘Mailmark’ requirements and capable of processing a range of mail types, including tracked and signed services. Due to infrastructure constraints within LFB HQ, the solution must support hardwired connectivity, with Wi-Fi capability as a secondary option.
