## Summary

The British Embassy in Argentina is currently engaged in a procurement process for the contract titled "Press comments for British Embassy in Argentina," which falls under the foreign affairs and other services category. This tender is in the award stage, having been awarded on 13th May 2021, with the contract period set to commence from 1st July 2021 and concluding on 30th June 2023. The procurement method utilised is a selective procedure, inviting at least four potential suppliers to submit proposals. The total value of the contract is £20,651, and it is aimed at businesses capable of providing contextualised summaries of press content related to Argentina and the UK-Argentina bilateral relationship.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in media analysis and communications. Businesses that specialise in translating and contextualising news reports, particularly those familiar with Argentine media, would be well-suited to compete. The ability to provide nuanced insights into political and economic issues, along with a clear understanding of the relevance to UK interests, could give prospective bidders a competitive edge in this tender.

## Notice

For a period of two years (renewable for another year) the supplier will send to a distribution list defined by the British Embassy in Argentina three weekly reports with a contextualized summary in English of what the press published in Argentina. Topics: they will cover the main political and economic issues in Argentina, as well as the UK-Argentina bilateral relationship, the local perspective on current issues in the UK and other specific topics that the Embassy's Press Section may indicate. Contextualized information: the report should not merely be a translation of Argentine press headlines, but should put them in context so that an unfamiliar reader understands the relative weight of the publication, its credibility and its potential impact on public opinion. By reading the report, a reader who does not live in Argentina should be able to get a clear idea of what are the main issues being discussed in the country and whether anything of significance has been published on the issues of relevance to the bilateral relationship. The report may also include links to the original sources of the news stories. Extra editions: in special circumstances (such as a visit of a senior British official to Argentina), the Embassy may request the production of an extra report on days other than those scheduled. Media: the report will cover what is published by the main national print and online media, although for issues of importance in the bilateral relationship it may also include mentions in radio, TV and provincial media. The Embassy will send a Request for Quotation to at least four potential suppliers and invite them to submit a proposal.
