Greater London Authority entrust TNT Post to deliver its news to Londoners
In a deal worth £1.2m, Greater London Authority has reappointed TNT Post, formerly Circular Distributors, for the third year running to manage the significant door drop distribution of The Londoner, its free newspaper, which is distributed to around three million London residents, ten times a year.
The Greater London Authority awarded the year-long contract following a competitive tender process against competing distributors.
TNT Post will distribute over 30 million copies of The Londoner over the next year. The Londoner was launched in December 2002 and is published 10 times a year. It highlights the work of the Greater London Authority Group and keeps Londoners up to date about the key issues affecting life in the capital. Approximately 2.8 million copies of each edition are sent out.
A spokesperson at Greater London Authority commented:
"TNT Post submitted the most economically advantageous tender and the GLA is pleased to be working with them again."
The GLA will continue to benefit from a combination of TNT Post's unaddressed mail services. TNT Post uses the most appropriate of its distribution services for an area to ensure the highest quality coverage. These distribution solutions include Newshare which is one of the fastest ways for the GLA to reach its readership and offers the benefit of no duplications and flexible timing and targeting. As well as this service, TNT Post offers a delivery service with Royal Mail which is fully managed by TNT Post's own dedicated Royal Mail team who can add further service value with schedule planning and enhanced targeting.
Charles Neilson, Managing Director of TNT Post commented:
"We are delighted and very proud that GLA has chosen to work with TNT Post once again. The renewal of the contract for the third year running clearly demonstrates our continued ability to provide an unrivalled, high-level service. TNT Post is committed to delivering a flexible, innovative, cost-effective service that is tailored to each client to give them the value they need."
