Description

A TV distribution agency is required as the Authority do not have the resource or expertise to do this in-house and subscribing departments require their messages (PSA TV Fillers) to be distributed to many TV broadcasters in the UK.

If you have not yet registered this can be done online at https://gpsesourcing.cabinetoffice.gov.uk by following the link

Your email must clearly state:
• The name of this procurement - Storage and Distribution of TV Fillers - and the reference is CCZT19A01.
• The name of the registered supplier; and
• The name and contact details for the registered individual sending the email.

Crown Commercial Service will then process this email and assign your organisation access to the opportunity. The registered user will receive a notification email to alert them once this has been done.

The deadline date for receipt of final outstanding requests for clarification will be 28/06/2019 at 10:00 am.
