Notice Information

Notice Title

SPS 2160 - Statutory Notices and Advertising Contract

Notice Description

Royal Borough Greenwich is legally obliged to produce statutory notices, promote key services and provide information to residents to enable them to access its services. The awarded contractor will therefore be expected to provide a weekly publication, with a minimum guaranteed circulation delivered door to door in the borough. The publication will need to meet the criteria required to run statutory notices and will need to be delivered in line with ABC audited reporting standards (see www.abc.org.uk for more details). If the contractor does not currently meet ABC audit rules, the Council will allow it a period of up to 9 months to gain ABC verification. The successful contractor will need to supplement door to door deliveries with copies of the publication being made available from pick up bins in hard to reach areas and online for residents who prefer to receive their information in a digital format. The contractor will also be expected to ensure that the advertisements are published in the context of engaging local editorial content which helps to positively inform local residents about the measures that their neighbours and local service providers are undertaking to make the borough a great place to live, work, learn and visit. The Royal Borough of Greenwich cannot guarantee an on-going minimum or maximum volume of statutory notices and other advertising. However it is anticipated that the value of the minimum value of the contract will be approximately 40 000 GBP and the maximum value will be around 150 000 GBP.
