RM4679 L0978; Cabinet Office Radio Fillers - ITT

A Radio distribution agency is required as the Authority do not have the resource or expertise to do this in-house and our subscribing departments require their messages to be distributed to many radio broadcasters in the UK. The requirement is to digitally bulk distribute radio fillers to all UK commercial radio broadcasters – approximately 400 stations.

To participate in any possible future procurement which results from this RFP, Potential Providers must first be registered on the Crown Commercial Service e-Sourcing Suite.

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

Please note that, to register, you must have a valid DUNS number (as provided by Dun and Bradstreet) for the organisation which you are registering, who will be entering into a contract if invited to do so at the Invitation to Tender stage.

Full instructions for registration and use of the system can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/become-a-crown-commercial-service-supplier

Your email must clearly state:

• the name of this procurement is Cabinet Office Radio Fillers- and the reference is RM4679 L0978
