Description
The National Archives is about to retender the concession for The Gazette, which is a combination of three publications, the London Gazette, the Belfast Gazette and the Edinburgh Gazette. The Gazettes are official journals of record and the London Gazette is claimed to be the world's oldest continually printed newspaper. It has been 'published by Authority' since 1865, under the superintendence of Her Majesty's Stationery Office (HMSO). Today The Gazette is a daily printed publication, a website (https://thegazette.co.uk) and a data service. The printed edition provides a record of what was published on the website the previous business day.
The Gazette concession involves managing the daily publication of The Gazette and the development, maintenance and operation of The Gazette Platform.
For the right organisation this a real opportunity to take over a thriving, sustainable, multi-million pound business. If you want to find out more, we're holding an event at The National Archives on 2 November 2018, 10.00am - 12.00pm (registration and coffee from 9.30am). If you express an interest, we will send you a confirmation email with all of the event details.
Please submit your expression of interest for the event to procurement@nationalarchives.gov.uk
