Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the Crown Commercial Service for the HM Treasury Group involved the Provision of Hard Copy News Delivery Services. This tender aimed for the delivery of newspapers, classified under CPV code 22210000, across a wide range of locations including the United Kingdom, various British Overseas Territories and countries worldwide. The procurement was conducted using a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period ending on 13 November 2023. Menzies Distribution Limited was awarded the contract on 1 December 2023, which is scheduled to commence on 2 January 2024 and extend until 1 January 2026 with a contract value of £89,220 GBP. The tender is now complete with the award status marked as active.

This contract to supply hard copy news offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the distribution and delivery services within the newspaper industry. Companies equipped with robust logistics capabilities and familiarity with the specific regions mentioned could particularly benefit from such contracts, enhancing their presence and operational reach. Given the scale and scope of the locations involved, larger businesses or those with international operation capacities may find themselves well-positioned to gain from engaging with similar tenders. However, this specific procurement was not marked as suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, suggesting a preference or greater suitability for larger entities in fulfilling the contract requirements effectively.
