Royal Mail has picked up a crucial contract win with the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) worth a whopping £19.5m. The job entails transporting approximately 960k packages of unmarked exam scripts fro 5,500 centres throughout England and then delivered to +- 50,000 examiners. Hopefully they can pass this test without a third strike...
The news couldn't have come at a better time for Royal Mail who are experiencing difficulties with existing clients like Amazon, eBay and the DVLA as a result of the of the impending industrial action and fears over reliable service delivery -- especially now during the run-up to Christmas.
Teh QCA was looking for five bidders, but Royal Mail was the only one who submitted a propsal...naturally being the only company tendering they sealed teh deal. Good on them!
We'll bring you the full story tomorrow with all the juicy comment from the top execs.

This is really excellent news for them to boost their performance.They are facing too many problems,I think this contract will be "silver-line" for them and their employees.

Micro SD, you are right about that a contract win like this is certainly welcome news for Royal Mail. I just wonder though how many of their existing customers will be left after the strike...
