## Summary

Coventry City Council procured printing services for the “Your Coventry” magazine, with the appointed supplier responsible for producing the publication at three scheduled points throughout the year. The requirement covers printed books, brochures and leaflets, with the magazine work delivered in Coventry. This is a public-sector print production opportunity for businesses able to manage recurring magazine print runs and associated delivery arrangements for a local authority. The council is the buyer and the requirement was handled as a single procurement lot. The emphasis is on producing a regular public information magazine rather than providing editorial, digital publishing or general communications services. Suppliers operating in commercial printing, magazine production and related fulfilment are the closest fit.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. SENECA TRADING LIMITED was appointed as the supplier. The contract was signed on 8 June 2026 and runs from 9 June 2026 to 8 June 2027. It has a gross value of £32,289.60, or £26,908 excluding VAT, in GBP. The council has a right to make one 12-month extension, giving a maximum contract end date of 8 June 2028. The tender was assessed through a limited competition under the relevant UK legal basis. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was for one lot, covering the printing requirement for the scheduled issues of Your Coventry magazine.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from Coventry City Council for professionally produced local-authority magazine print, delivered through a relatively small, below-threshold requirement. Businesses best placed for a future requirement of this kind would have reliable commercial print production, experience with magazines or comparable brochures, and the capacity to meet three planned publication points without disruption. Strong candidates would be able to manage artwork and print-ready files, maintain consistent colour and finish across issues, and coordinate dependable delivery in Coventry. The appointed supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be suitable for a smaller specialist print business rather than only a large national contractor. Relevant evidence would include similar public-sector or community publication work, production quality controls and dependable scheduling.
