What is being bought

Published requirement description

There is a legal requirement – referenced in several Acts – for local authorities to

publish statutory notices in a local newspaper. There is no clear legal definition of a

‘newspaper’, nor is there clear guidance of how frequently notices should be

published. However, it is a general convention that councils advertise their public

notices in a daily, weekly or fortnightly publication.

Hackney Council wants to appoint a local newspaper to publish its statutory notices

in accordance with its legal requirements, providing an efficient, reliable and cost-

effective service.
