## Summary

The BFI (British Film Institute) is currently completing the procurement process to establish a new business partner for its book publishing operation, following the expiry of its current contract. The tender, titled "BFI Publishing - AWARD", falls under the publishing services sector and is classified under CPV code 79970000. Located in London, with a contract period running from January 12, 2018, to January 12, 2023, the procurement method employed was an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on November 8, 2017.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the publishing and digital content sectors, particularly those that can align with the BFI's strategic objectives for future learning and audience engagement. Companies that can enhance the BFI's cultural offerings and adapt to innovative publishing directions, especially those promoting diversity and younger audiences, would be well-positioned to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the BFI is keen to support new entrants that can contribute meaningful value to its publishing initiatives.

## Notice

The BFI is seeking a new business partner to develop and manage its book publishing operation. As the BFI is approaching the end of its current publishing contract it is undertaking a tender process to invite submissions from potential publishing partners. The intention is to find a partner who is best placed to support the ambitions and priorities of the BFI. A partner who can on the one hand maintain the reputation that has been established during the lifetime of BFI Books and, on the other, develop our book publishing in new directions as well as open up new opportunities in digital publishing. The BFI 2022 strategy provides an essential framework for our ambitions and BFI Publishing should deliver against our commitments to future learning by engaging young, diverse and engaged future audiences. Our Publishing should also enrich the BFI's Cultural Programme with greater publishing tie-ins to major projects and new initiatives that stem from our collections and digitisation strategies.
