The tender, titled "Supply of Newspapers to the Parliamentary Estate," falls within the services industry category and requires the provision and timely delivery of newspapers and periodicals to parliamentary locations. The contract has been awarded using an open procurement method under the open procedure, with InPost Distribution Limited selected as the supplier. The procurement procedure began in the planning stage on 14th January 2026, transitioned through the tender stage, and culminated with an award on 29th May 2026. The value of the contract is GBP 855,000, and it spans a period from 1st June 2026 to 31st May 2029, with potential extensions up to 31st May 2031. This contract presents an opportunity for businesses in the logistics and distribution domains, particularly those with existing capabilities in timely media delivery services, to expand their portfolio and contribute to a high-profile client base. Given the central government nature of the contracting authority, compliance with stringent public sector procurement standards is crucial. While this tender was awarded to a large-scale firm, similar opportunities with public sector contracts exist for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that demonstrate strong logistical acumen and competitive service offerings. Future tenders in this category will likely require proven reliability, responsiveness, and adherence to delivery standards, thus providing ample growth prospects for businesses committed to maintaining high service quality. ## Notice The Corporate Officer of the House of Commons and the Corporate Officer of the House of Lords (the Authority) sought a supplier for the provision of newspapers to the Parliamentary Estate. The Authority requires the timely delivery of national, regional and international newspapers and a limited selection of periodicals to an offsite consolidation centre, from where the Authority will arrange onward delivery to designated locations across the Estate. These publications must be made available to Members of Parliament, Members of the House of Lords, and Parliamentary staff on the day of publication. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: The contract will be awarded for an initial period of three (3) years, with options to extend by up to two (2) further one-year periods. Any extension will be exercised at the Authority's discretion to ensure continuity of service, maintain value for money, and subject to satisfactory supplier performance and ongoing business need. ### Planning Information Request for Information deadline is 29/10/25. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/051348-2026 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Jun 2026 | | Submission deadline | 9 Mar 2026 | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2026 | | Award date | 23 Apr 2026 | | Contract period | 31 May 2026 - 31 May 2029 | | Recurrence | 2029-01-15 | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £712,500 | | Lots value | £712,500 | | Awards value | £855,000 | | Contracts value | £855,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active, Pending | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CORPORATE OFFICER OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS | | Additional buyers | CORPORATE OFFICER OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 0AA | | 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 | TLI32 Westminster | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | INPOST DISTRIBUTION | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 22 - Printed matter and related products - 64 - Postal and telecommunications services ### Codes - 22200000 - Newspapers, journals, periodicals and magazines - 22210000 - Newspapers - 64111000 - Postal services related to newspapers and periodicals ## Release History - 1 Jun 2026 at 11:28 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/051348-2026 - 13 May 2026 at 10:05 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/043780-2026 - 13 May 2026 at 10:04 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/043779-2026 - 27 Feb 2026 at 11:39 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017815-2026 - 14 Jan 2026 at 13:15 - Planning - UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/003095-2026 - 15 Oct 2025 at 16:17 - PlanningUpdate - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/065725-2025 - 15 Oct 2025 at 16:10 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/065723-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/051348-2026 1st June 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/043780-2026 13th May 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/043779-2026 13th May 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017815-2026 27th February 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/003095-2026 14th January 2026 - Planned procurement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/065725-2025 15th October 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/065723-2025 15th October 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://atamis-ukparliament.my.site.com/s/Welcome - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.parliament.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
