Description

Worcester City Council requires a Supplier to design, print and source the advertising for its quarterly residents' magazine - City Life.

The Council are looking for a provider with a strong track record in all three of the above areas, and ability to commence work for a 12 month contract with the option to extend. The first issue would come out no sooner than April 2017.

The Council currently produces four consecutive issues per year (at three month intervals) but we will also consider tenders from Potential Suppliers who are prepared to commit to three consecutive issues (at four month intervals).
The magazine is currently produced at no cost to the City Council (with the current supplier retaining full revenue from advertising and using this to off set the print costs). The Council is keen to maintain this zero-cost position.

Please find attached the Invitation to Tender for City Life, the draft standard Conditions of Contract and Worcester City Council's Brand Guidelines. If you would like to tender for this contract please confirm your intent to respond by emailing procurement@worcester.gov.uk and return your proposal by no later than 12.00 noon Monday 9th January 2017 to the address provided in the documentation.

If you have any queries or require any additional information regarding this notice, please email procurement@worcester.gov.uk.
