What is being bought

Published requirement description

IWM is tendering for a supplier to print the full range of the official IWM guidebooks for all five museums and three children’s guidebooks. The guidebooks will be available for purchase all of IWM admissions desks and gift shops across five sites.

Each guidebook version is the same specification and pagination, but artwork will be different for each version. Each version will be produced as a separate order, however if schedules allow, we will batch more than one version together for production.
