Lot 1: The department is responsible for running examinations at different locations around the UK.

We have courier requirements for 2 different types of services: Firstly, we run Secure English Language Testing (SELT) examinations on behalf of His Majesty’s Government (HMG) for UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). The materials and equipment for these exams are packed into secure suitcases in our confidential materials store. The cases are collected and delivered to exam venues – typically they need to reach the exam venue at 6.30 am on a Saturday. The same process happens in reverse after the exams have finished. Additional information: The total estimated contract value for years 1 & 2 is £210k
