Notice Information

Notice Title

University Press Platform

Notice Description

This is a contract award notice for the provision of technical and publishing services to support the operation of White Rose University Press. This involves system provision (platform and infrastructure) as well as a range of services (copyediting, proofreading, layout and design, author / editor guidance as needed). Please note the price quoted above relates to the known fixed fees for the platform only and not the variable fees for journals, book processing charges etc. Additional information: Market engagement has been carried out with other providers but they did not offer the full range of specialist services that White Rose University Press requires across all types of publication. Single tender action was deemed to be the only option at this time but the University will review the market once again in 2021 prior to contract expiry.
