The solutions will offer the ability to apply common solutions to the requirements of individual sites. In most cases systems will be installed at sites which are live operational environments and will remain working throughout the installation period. Therefore there will be a need to apply common solutions to bespoke layouts and differing physical constraints.
Specific requirement.
Please note that there is a specific requirement for a packet sortation system for a value of between: 5 000 000 GBP and 50 000 000 GBP.
Depending upon the solution selected by Royal Mail, there may be an initial order for the packet sortation system (the "Initial Order") followed by one or more subsequent orders for the packet sortation system provided that the key performance indicators set out in the Framework and mirrored in the call off contract(s) are met to the satisfaction of Royal Mail. The contract value for the Initial Order and any subsequent orders for the packet sortation system could be in the region of 50 000 000 GBP and so the minimum annual turnover for an applicant should be no less than 100 000 000 GBP.
Packets and fulfilment are a core element of Royal Mail’s commercial strategy representing an incremental growth opportunity subject to competitive prices and service. To address processing costs it is proposed to achieve this by introducing a packet sortation system at a number of operational locations.
It is anticipated that the packet sortation system will deliver some or all of the functionality as per the list below:
- A space efficient and cost effective automation solution,
- Automated collection of packet data; size, weight, address image, indicia image, barcodes,
- Automated conveyance of packets,
- Automated sorting of packets,
- Automated unloading of mail out of roll cages and other stillage,
- Automated loading of packets into roll cages and other stillage,
- Functionality to provide control and configuration of the system and allow compliant data exchange through.
Royal Mail's data network.
- A means to assist in the diagnosis of operational and system failure problems.
A number of non exclusive framework contract have been placed against which future requirements under packet sortation system and other materials handling systems may be awarded.
