The main aim of this paper is to perform efficiency and productivity analysis of Universal Service Obligation (USO) based on the Malmquist Productivity Indices (MPI) analysis. The study focuses on 29 Designated Operators (DOs) and two isolated periods, the years 2003 and 2017. There is a clear trend of workforce reduction (12%). Considering the postal services, the data confirm a general trend that the letter-post is in decline (30%) and the parcels are on the rise (52%). Consider- ing the financial results, both costs and revenues are increased; however, there is a higher increase of revenue (33.13%) compared to the cost (32.61%). Further, the results of implemented methodology are twofold. Firstly, a progress is determined at the average level of all observed DOs according to the efficiency and productivity indicators. Among other, the results indicate the increase of produc- tivity for both input MPI (3.5%) and output MPI (8%).

  • Post Office News - June 2019
    Post Office News - June 2019 MPs hear evidence on the future of the post office network Stakeholders outlined the challenges facing post offices in a one-off an ​oral evidence session to the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) Committee. Subpostmasters warned that post offices are at risk as operators are facing falling incomes and higher costs. Post Office Ltd (POL) said they recognised this was a problem, and this summer will be undertaking a full review of postmaster remuneration. The committee questioned witnesses about how national the network’s coverage really is, particularly in the context of increasing numbers of outreach branches. MPs pressed POL on risks associated with franchising high street post offices to big retailers. MPs queried the community consultation process on post office changes, including the role of Citizens Advice. The committee asked about the potential for new services such as more banking and future government services. Witnesses discussed service quality, accessibility for disabled people, privacy and confidentiality in branches. The evidence session came in the same week that the ​Daily Mail launched a campaign calling on the government to guarantee the future of the post office network, including the provision of a full range of services over the counter for those who are not online. In addition to the oral evidence session, Citizens Advice submitted ​written evidence​ to the committee. Treasury Committee recommends ‘banking hub’ role for POs Post office provision of banking services has also been examined in detail as part of the ​Treasury Committee’s access to financial services inquiry​. The committee 1 commended the positive role post offices play in providing basic banking services to consumers, especially in rural areas.
