Peterborough City Council has changed its second class postal
supplier which will save the authority about £119,000 a year.
The council is now using UK Mail Ltd for its second class mail
instead of Royal Mail.
Councillor Stephen Goldspink, deputy leader and Cabinet member for
Efficiency and Business Improvement said: "Peterborough City
Council has taken advantage of competition within the postal market
to change its supplier and save money.
"This is another example of one of the new measures introduced by
the business transformation team to improve efficiency and make
cost-savings that do not impact on front-line services."
The UK Mail 2nd class service is a guaranteed three-day delivery
service. The change of supplier will not affect deliveries into the
council and UK Mail use Royal Mail to make the final delivery of
the mail so there will be no adverse effect to Royal Mail
staff.
