Description
Wigan Council is looking for an experienced provider to print 'Borough Life', Wigan Council's resident's magazine. Flexibility and an ability to work to tight deadlines are essential. Borough Life was the winner of the Best Corporate Publication at the CorpComms Awards in 2016 in the 'Public Sector and Not-for-Profit Organisations' category. Copy, design and photography for the magazine are all done in house. You can familiarise yourself with Wigan Council via www.wigan.gov.uk. You can also download a pdf of Borough Life from the website www.wigan.gov.uk/BoroughLife. There are three editions of Borough Life per year and these are published in February, July and November. Wigan Council will provide at least two months' notice of the publication date required for each edition. The required printing of the magazine under this Specification is 141,000 copies per edition (to be delivered by the printer to the distributor); and 9,000 copies packed in boxes of 125 copies per box per edition (bulk deliveries - delivered by the printer to the distributor). Additional copies may be required for certain print runs e.g. to coincide with the Wigan 10 Kilometre run up to 5,000 additional copies (3,000 currently needed). A Specification for the printing of the magazine is included within the Invitation to Tender document. It is intended that the contract will run for a period of 2 years and offer a 1 year extension option. The deadline for the receipt of final tender bids is Friday 1st March 2019 at 17:00.
