## Notice

Norwich City Council is looking to source a supplier for the printing of its Citizen Magazine from the winter 2017 edition onwards. The Citizen Magazine is produced entirely in-house using our communications team to write all the editorial content and our graphic designers to produce the finished artwork which is made print ready. The Citizen Magazine is an invaluable publication for Norwich residents to turn to and rely on for factual council information about the essential services the council provides. The magazine is distributed at four set times each year (to coincide with each season) thereby allowing the council to keep residents up to date with important council news - be that changes to our waste and recycling service, the outcome of local elections or how they can give us their views on important consultations which will affect them. Each issue is distributed to approx. 66,500 households in Norwich. The contract term will be for a period of two years with an option to extend for up to one further year. The contract is anticipated to commence 16 October 2017 with the "Winter" edition of the Citizen magazine to be printed by early November 2017.
