## Summary

The Edinburgh Napier University has awarded a contract for the provision of printing and mailing services for its 'Red Triangle' magazine for the 2024 issue. The contract was awarded to J Thomson Colour Printers for a value of £56,055. The services include providing a blank bound dummy of the magazine, wet proofs for colour and resolution checks, and printed digital proofs for sign-off. The contract allows for possible extensions to cover the 2025 and 2026 issues, subject to budget availability and ongoing quality assessments.

This tender presents an opportunity for printing and related service providers to engage with Edinburgh Napier University for the production of its magazine. Businesses specialising in printing, finishing services, and delivery services would find this opportunity well-suited for competition. The procurement process has reached the award stage, highlighting the importance of quality service provision and the potential for long-term contractual relationships with the university.

## Notice

You are invited by Edinburgh Napier University to quote for the provision of printing and mailing services relating to its 'Red Triangle' magazine, as more particularly described in the attached Statement of Requirements. We require a blank bound dummy of the magazine; wet proofs to check colours and resolution before production; a wet proof of the cover, with the spot UV varnish; and printed digital proofs for sign-off. The initial requirement is for the 2024 publication, subject to satisfactorily passing the proof acceptance stage. The contract allows for printing and distribution of the 2025 and 2026 issues, at the sole discretion of the University. This will depend on budget availability, continued satisfactory quality of service and product, and an annual value for money assessment. Bidders should provide a rationale for Year 2 and 3 price determination, preferably supported by open-book evidence.
