In plain English

The Royal Borough of Greenwich wants a company to produce and distribute a weekly borough-wide newspaper that carries the council's legally required public notices, which other councils and organisations also use to advertise. The contract also covers recruitment adverts, housing adverts, council event and consultation promotion, online access to the paper, accessible formats, and performance reporting. The estimated value is £900,000.

What the buyer wants

• Publish all statutory notices the council is legally required to advertise, with exclusive hosting of those notices in the newspaper. • Publish other council advertising as needed, including recruitment, Choice Based Lettings (council housing vacancy adverts), events, consultations and service promotions, on a non-exclusive basis. • Distribute a weekly newspaper throughout the borough with audited distribution, provide digital access to it, supply accessible formats, and manage the contract with performance reporting.

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The requirement for a borough-wide newspaper with audited distribution, exclusive hosting of statutory notices, and a contract value of £900,000 would most likely rule out small businesses that do not already publish and distribute a newspaper at this scale.

Always check the tender documents.
