The Municipality of Oegstgeest (part of Leiden) intends to distribute its municipal news via a door-to-door newspaper that meets strict requirements regarding reliability, frequency, and local content. The publication must be delivered on a fixed day every week, appear at least 48 times per year, and be available to at least 90% of households without 'No/No' stickers. The editorial focus must be strongly local, featuring broad social reporting aimed at Oegstgeest. In 2016, a multiple award procedure under negotiation was conducted in which only one party – the Oegstgeester Courant – met all requirements; the other candidates did not meet the standards for quality, local connection, and editorial content. Since then, one of the competitors has ceased its activities, meaning there is currently no alternative. Therefore, the municipality is opting for a negotiation procedure without publication.
