Located in London, the tender is currently in the award stage following its active period, which closed on 24 April 2018. The awarded contract amounts to £18,204 and is set to commence on 4 May 2018, lasting for two years until 3 May 2020. The procurement process was conducted using an open procedure, catering to businesses below the threshold of £25,000. This opportunity for media monitoring presents significant growth potential, particularly for SMEs specialising in news aggregation, reporting, or rail-related content. Companies capable of delivering comprehensive media summaries across various platforms and languages would be particularly well-positioned to compete for future contracts in this sector, especially considering the evolving landscape following the UK's exit from the EU. Adeptness in navigating governmental and legislative changes will be advantageous for any aspiring bidders. ## Notice ORR operates within the context of a dynamic and complex European rail market and legislative framework. To achieve our strategic objectives, we need to: * Demonstrate the benefits of competition, market opening, and risk-based safety regulation to European governments, stakeholders and EU institutions. * Influence the drafting and negotiation process for EU legislation. * Help to implement EU law in the UK, alongside DfT, in the best way for UK customers and funders. * Be alert to European developments in the rail market - emulating best practice and learning from the experience of others. * Help government and industry to navigate change associated with the UK's exit from the European Union. To do this we require a regular, reliable summary of media clippings from across Europe. We require a daily clippings summary of rail-related news from across Europe, by email. Breadth is important - both in terms of geography, themes (from safety incidents to business takeovers) and language. We would like clippings from print-based media (newspapers and trade journals) and, if possible, online sources. The contract is for a two year period, allowing us to reassess our future requirements after the UK's exit from the EU. Additional information: This tender closes on 24/04/2018 at 12pm. All communication must be made via the portal. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7cd83374-6e50-4d97-ba3e-821b3c79a4df | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Jun 2018 | | Submission deadline | 24 Apr 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 2 May 2018 | | Contract period | 3 May 2018 - 3 May 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £21,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £18,204 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | OFFICE OF RAIL AND ROAD | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | WC2B 4AN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | M BRAIN | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92400000 - News-agency services ## Release History - 20 Jun 2018 at 11:18 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7cd83374-6e50-4d97-ba3e-821b3c79a4df - 10 Apr 2018 at 09:26 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/712987e0-7927-43be-b398-3196fed6b540 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7cd83374-6e50-4d97-ba3e-821b3c79a4df 20th June 2018 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/712987e0-7927-43be-b398-3196fed6b540 10th April 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/bc7bdd3a-3576-4e4c-a023-79759c81e3cf ITT - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5f102f7b-287d-4951-a5ab-d2bdf9cd90e1 Disclaimer - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/651042c5-c09a-4d9a-9756-e6903a144883 Form of Tender - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/55d81645-78e8-48ff-b52f-2fd57f13771f Form of Agreement - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/efdf3435-ace8-4fcc-8c75-f2821cf6ed13 Bravo Joining Instructions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/SupplierAttachment/c84d4862-fd1e-4f77-a57d-cd9bdbe2e17d Signed Contract ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
