The Authority is seeking a supplier for storage, fulfilment and worldwide freighting of its Nautical Book Publications. The contract requires receiving stock from multiple print suppliers, securely storing approximately 450–500 unstacked pallets, and maintaining accurate stock records via a front-end system with live reporting. Daily orders will be issued as individual XML files by email and may be as small as a single item; orders must be packed in bespoke cartons up to 30kg, sealed with the Authority’s branded tape and include a branded packing list. Fulfilment covers predominantly A4 book publications and similar-sized items, issuance of customs documentation to customers by email where required, and a front-end digital system reporting orders in hand and despatched with tracking details. Deliveries must be fully traceable for global distribution, include a supplementary occasional same-day rush service for orders received before midday, and provide standard delivery options including British Forces Post Office allocations, express courier worldwide, and ex works.
