Granada finally supply Bieber with a TV contract (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abbreviate

'contract' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'granada finally supply bieber with a tv' is the wordplay.
'finally' indicates one should take the final letters.
'supply' indicates anagramming the letters (in a supple way).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
The last letter of 'granada' is 'a'.
'a'+'tv'='atv'
'bieber' put after 'atv' is 'atvbieber'.
'atvbieber' with letters rearranged gives 'bbreviate'.
'a'+'bbreviate'='ABBREVIATE'

(Other definitions for abbreviate that I've seen before include "Shorten (text)" , "Shorten (a word)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
