The closing date was 8 September <i>2011</i>, but with an initial 36 month period, extendable twice for 12 month periods. <br /><br />If the contracts were extended for 5 years that would require renewal from some time in 2016. However, now that Royal Mail is a private company, the need to publicise the contacts in accordance with the EU requirements for public sector contracts probably no longer exists. So while we may see a new set of contracts next year, they may not be advertised in the same way.Ian - Norvichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16436130277706268046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-20036231188253879442015-12-06T20:03:31.495+00:002015-12-06T20:03:31.495+00:00Surprising what you can find on the internet, if m...Surprising what you can find on the internet, if my maths are correct there should be a new set of contracts soon.<br />https://data.gov.uk/data/contracts-finder-archive/download/213524/3f629266-dc24-4bb0-9e64-8e78fd697d0fAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-45572136361727532562015-12-06T11:40:31.575+00:002015-12-06T11:40:31.575+00:00No. Regional/Country definitives are printed by Ca...No. Regional/Country definitives are printed by Cartor, although Tallents House still has De La Rue Northern Ireland 1st & 2nd as these are not by Cartor.Ian - Norvichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16436130277706268046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-56825658845510342712015-12-06T10:59:02.884+00:002015-12-06T10:59:02.884+00:00I this why you cannot get English NVIs at present?...I this why you cannot get English NVIs at present?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-23193639448514896582015-12-04T12:25:52.773+00:002015-12-04T12:25:52.773+00:00That may be DLR’s plan, but will their customers a...That may be DLR’s plan, but will their customers accept the move?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
