This initiative falls under the education sector and aims to innovate the magazine by enhancing its design, content, and delivery methods. The procurement is at the award stage, with the contract signed on 29th October 2021. Electronic submissions for this open tender were closed on 23rd September 2021, after a bidding period that allowed businesses to propose their ideas and capabilities for this significant project focused on maximising communication and fundraising efforts. This tender represents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in magazine production, design, and content creation.
