## Summary

The procurement process titled "Distribution of North Somerset Life Magazines 2022" is being conducted by North Somerset Council, focusing on the provision of printing and distribution services. The contract period will commence on 4th July 2022 and conclude on 3rd July 2024, with a tender submission deadline of 14th March 2022. This open procedure invites suppliers from various regions across England, with a total contract value of £70,000, which could potentially increase if the optional extension for further editions is exercised.

This tender provides an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the printing and distribution sector to expand their business. Companies that specialise in literature distribution and possess the capacity to handle large-scale printing tasks will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging with North Somerset Council not only opens doors for immediate contracts but could also foster long-term partnerships for future editions of the council's magazine.

## Notice

North Somerset Council would like to invite you to quote for the distribution of three editions (2022/23) of the council's magazine - North Somerset Life.
