## Summary

Historic England, a sub-central government public authority in Swindon, UK, is engaging in a procurement process for a new newsletter tool designed for creating, managing, and sending both internal and external newsletters. This procurement, categorized under communication and multimedia software services, is currently in the planning stage with a key milestone being market engagement scheduled by 24th October 2025. The contract, identified as "HE newsletter tool - UID 129," is expected to commence on 1st March 2026 and conclude by 1st March 2029, with further notices anticipated on 1st January 2026.

Businesses specialising in communication and multimedia software, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), are well-positioned to take advantage of this opportunity.
