Tender description

Brent Council is seeking quotes from suppliers for the quarterly distribution of the Your Brent Magazine. Background Regular surveys show the quarterly Your Brent magazine is the most popular medium for news and information from Brent Council. It's current distribution is to 190,000 letter boxes, i.e - every residence in the borough of Brent. The distribution company has to have a very good knowledge of the borough, including ward boundaries and new developments, to ensure efficient distribution. The distribution is normally completed within 6 working days. Normally, the printer delivers direct to the distributors. The Brief: Upon receipt of 195,000, 48pp 210mm x 270mm magazines from the printers, we require these magazines to be delivered quickly and accurately to every household in the London borough of Brent. The individual Wards of Alperton, Barnhill, Brondesbury Park, Cricklewood and Mapesbury, Dollis Hill, Harlesden and Kensal Green, Kenton, Kilburn, Kingsbury, Northwick Park, Preston, Queens Park, Queensbury, Roundwood, Stonesbridge, Sudbury, Tokyngton, Welsh Harp, Wembley Central, Wembley Hill, Wembley Park and Willesden Green. An accurate 'end of service' report is to be presented giving updated information on any issues incurred. For example, failure to gain access to a particular building or block of flats. Any reports of undelivered items will be relayed to the distributors which will then be rectified.

About the buyer

Brent Council is a London borough council and local authority, running procurement through its own in-house corporate Procurement team. Open tenders are advertised and suppliers submit bids through the council's ProContract portal. Lower-value contracts are generally sourced and managed directly by individual service departments across the council. Larger, higher-value contracts are instead led by the corporate Procurement team. A dedicated local supplier database lists smaller-value opportunities specifically for businesses based in the borough. Brent's own Contracts Register, published on the ProContract portal, records every awarded contract going back to 2012.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of London Borough of Brent's contract awards have been in health and social work, business services and construction work.
