Target Express Parcels was granted a licence on 14 October 2005. The licence (pdf, 295KB) was re-issued on 15 December 2005 to take in to account the new licensing arrangements that came in to force on 1 January 2006 when the UK mail market was opened to full competition. Following the publication of the January 2008 Decision Document "Amendment of the 2006 Licensing Framework" (pdf, 277KB), Conditions 9 and 10 of the licence were modified (pdr, 47KB) on 19 March 2008.
In accordance with the establishment of Consumer Focus, the abolition of Postwatch on 30 September 2008 and the transfer of its functions to Consumer Focus, several modifications were required to the licence for example to remove references to Postwatch. Following the issue of a proposals notice in August 2008, Postcomm modified the licence (pdf, 55 KB) in December 2008.
Under the new licensing arrangements:
- Target Express Parcels must comply with the mail integrity code and the common operational procedures code.
- licensed area mail carried by Target Express will, unless exempted, carry a unique mail identification code marking Target Express as the licensed operator responsible for carrying it.
