UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Burgess Hill Town Council procured printing for its About Town magazine: nine editions, with 16,000 copies per edition, for the town council. This is a recurring print production requirement rather than a general publishing or communications contract. The buyer is Burgess Hill Town Council, and the magazine is for the town. The tender also requested delivery of printed documents to the council offices in Burgess Hill. The contract is classified as a service, covering magazine printing and the associated supply of printed copies.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following an open competition below the UK threshold. Nine bids were received. Cliffe Enterprise Limited was selected, with an award value of £3,290 including VAT (£3,948 gross). The award was made on 25 September 2026. The contract period runs from 1 January 2027 to 30 November 2029. It was a single-lot procurement, with an estimated lot value of £40,000 excluding VAT (£48,000 including VAT). The council stated that it was not committed to awarding the contract to the lowest bidder or to any bidder, so price alone was not guaranteed to determine the outcome.

This award shows a sustained requirement from Burgess Hill Town Council for producing and supplying a high-volume run of its community magazine across multiple editions. A credible competitor would need the capacity to print 16,000 copies per edition, repeat production reliably, and deliver finished copies to the council’s Burgess Hill offices. The nine bids, all from small and medium-sized enterprises, show that the requirement attracted competition from smaller suppliers as well as being manageable as a single contract. The council’s stated evaluation position indicates that suppliers should be ready to demonstrate overall suitability and delivery capability rather than relying on the lowest price alone. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise.
