## Summary

Tate is seeking a supplier for membership communications and fulfilment for its membership scheme. Work includes preparing and posting monthly batches of renewal letters and postcards, twice-weekly batches of welcome and renewed-member packs, and other ad hoc communications. The service must support multiple mailing segments and sophisticated personalisation. It also includes personalising membership cards onto paperboard cards for renewal and weekly mailings. This is a postal, mailing, printing and delivery service for Tate, with delivery across the United Kingdom.

Tate invited offers through an open procedure. The tender set a clarification deadline of 30 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC and a bid deadline of 6 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The estimated contract runs from 1 May 2027 to 30 April 2030, with an option to extend by up to two years if performance is good; the maximum period ends on 30 April 2032. The estimated value is £1.5 million excluding VAT (£1.8 million including VAT). Quality accounts for 60% of the evaluation and price for 40%. Economic and technical selection criteria apply, with details set out in the tender documents.

This requirement is suited to mailing and fulfilment businesses able to manage recurring weekly and monthly production and dispatch alongside ad hoc work. Suppliers need the operational capacity to process several mailing segments, handle complex personalisation accurately, and personalise paperboard membership cards as part of the relevant mailings. Experience coordinating print, pack assembly and postal delivery would be directly relevant to the mix of renewal correspondence, postcards and member welcome or renewal packs. The service also calls for reliable handling of repeat batches at different frequencies and the flexibility to accommodate other posted communications. Tate evaluates quality more heavily than price, so suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate the quality of their service and delivery approach as well as competitive pricing.
