Postcomm consults on a long term licence for Racer

1 March 2005

Postcomm today began a 30-day consultation on the proposed issue of a long term licence to Racer Consultancy Management Services Ltd, to provide bulk mail, consolidation and tracked business-to-business services.

The consultation document and text of the proposed licence can be found on Postcomm’s website www.psc.gov.uk. Printed copies are available from Postcomm at 6 Hercules Road London SE1 7DB.

Notes for editors

Today’s document says that Postcomm is minded, subject to consultation, to grant a licence to Racer. It suggests that the proposed services will have no appreciable adverse effect on the provision of a universal service throughout the UK and will further the interests of users by promoting competition between postal operators.
