The magazine was recently redesigned and relaunched to positive industry and reader response. The BFI seeks a distribution partner to efficiently manage retail sales and identify growth opportunities for the magazine's business. Applications are welcome from consultants, agencies, or distributors directly. This procurement follows the Open Procedure under the Procurement Act 2023 as best practice, though it falls below the PA23 threshold.
