Summary of the contracting process

The English Heritage is currently inviting tenders for the "English Heritage Mailing House" project, aimed at managing monthly membership campaigns. This procurement process falls under the services category, specifically for mailing-list compilation and mailing services, and is being executed under a selective procurement method. The tender is set to conclude on 26th July 2021. Additionally, the contract period is expected to commence on 1st October 2021 and run until 30th September 2024, with significant volume requirements including fulfilment of new memberships and existing renewals, alongside trigger campaigns targeting approximately 1.05 million pieces of mail annually. The delivery addresses include locations across the United Kingdom and beyond.

Notice Description

Monthly campaigns The fulfilment of the new memberships (circa 150k for 2021/22) and existing membership renewals (circa 400k for 2021/22), and trigger campaigns (circa 500k) is a core requirement of the marketing communications strategy for English Heritage Members. All campaigns are highly segmented with a large number of variables both in text, imagery and promotional offer, including 3rd party assets. The accuracy, efficiency, security and print production quality of the communications are vital in delivering the revenue, satisfaction and brand. English Heritage would like the tenderers to provide costs as described in the attached pricing schedule. In addition, turnaround times are critical in delivering English Heritage income. Please provide the SLA's we can expect for each campaign. Renewals Renewal packs are dispatched on a monthly basis - annual renewals are sent approx. 1st of each month with monthly renewals sent on approx. 28th of every month.

The renewals are printed on A4 portrait letters with either one or two personalised membership cards affixed to the front.
