Summary of the contracting process

The Dorset Council is inviting tenders for the provision of a Residents' Magazine Publication, which will be produced three times a year for a duration of three years, starting from August 2021 and concluding in May 2024. The contract, which has a total value of £225,000, includes services such as graphic design, advertising sales, printing, and distribution of 183,000 magazines to households within the Dorset Council area, along with additional copies for libraries and council offices. This open tender process has a submission deadline of 19th August 2021, and the winning contractor will be selected based on their ability to deliver a cost-effective solution for this community-focused publication.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in graphic design, printing, and advertising services, particularly those that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies capable of producing high-quality printed materials and managing distribution will be well-suited to compete for this contract, particularly given the community engagement aspect of the publication, which aims to keep residents informed about local governance and initiatives.
