TNT Post has been awarded the biggest contract since the deregulation of the UK postal network in 2004 – a three-year €134 million (£90m) contract, awarded by BT.
The contract will see TNT Post handle more than 170 million items a year.
BT will use TNT Post’s Premier service, a two-day time-definite service for pre-sorted mail, with Royal Mail continuing to carry out the final sort and delivery to customers’ homes nationwide.
The service offers flexible pickup times as well as tracking systems.
According to Gary Parker from BT’s Procurement & Supply Chain, TNT Post’s price and service already delivers significant benefits for BT and its customers, and plans are in place for development and expansion of TNT’s services in the UK.
To date, TNT Post has secured a number of significant client wins in the telecommunications market, including T-Mobile and Virgin Mobile.
