Description

Citizen magazine is an invaluable publication for Norwich residents to turn to and rely on for factual, council information.

The magazine is distributed at four set times each year which allows the council to keep residents up to date with important council news - be that changes to the waste and recycling service, the outcome of local elections, how they can give the council their views on important consultations which will affect them and information about the essential services the council provides.

Each issue of Citizen has a print run of about 66,700 copies.

The council is looking for a supplier to manage the distribution of the magazine to Norwich households (residential only) via unaddressed Door to Door mail and addressed direct mail service for its spring 2018 issue onwards.

The contract for this service is planned to start early December 2017 and run for two years with an option to extend for an additional two years (on a one-year at-a-time basis).

The first issue due for distribution under this contract will be in the first complete week of March 2018 (exact date to be provided post tender).
