Authority: Dorset Council (Local council)·Consortium: 2 public authorities
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Council is seeking tenders for the provision of a Residents’ Magazine Publication that will be required to be produced three times a year for a period of three years from August 2021 (allowing for three months for advertising sales) until May 2024,. The provision includes graphic design; advertising sales; print; and distribution of 183,000 magazines to households in the Dorset Council area and 700 magazines to libraries and Council offices in the Dorset Council area.
Pending approval, the contractor will also produce a magazine in July 2024, as this is an important issue that will inform residents of the newly elected councillors.
Therefore, Dorset Council are seeking a contractor who is able to produce a cost-effective magazine from August 2021 to May 2024.

Published award criteria (3)
- Quality: 25
- Social Value: 5
- Price: 70
- Price carries 70 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 7 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
