Serco wins major US Postal Service contract
25 April 2007
Serco Group plc (Serco) today announces that it has been selected by the US
Postal Service (USPS) Engineering organization to provide engineering,
technical, project management and IT services. The contract is for two years
with four two-year options. Over the full ten years, it has a potential value
of $260m, a sizeable increase over Serco's previous contract with USPS.
Serco has provided a range of engineering services to USPS for more than 20
years. The latest contract marks a broadening of that role to include
management services focused on reducing costs and enhancing efficiencies in
mail handling operations. Serco will also offer quality assurance services and
testing of mail processing equipment.
The award follows a number of other significant North American wins for Serco
in recent weeks, including the Sea Enterprise ($200m), LOGCAP ($225m) and
Spectech ($64m) defense contracts.
Christopher Hyman, Serco Group Chief Executive, said: "Building long-term
relationships with our customers is fundamental to Serco and we are delighted
to have expanded our association with the Postal Service. We look forward to
providing high-quality services which will help USPS achieve its aims."
