Printing Services for Out and About in the North York Moors Magazine 2027

The North York Moors National Park Authority invites quotations for printing and delivery of 80,000 copies of the Out and About in the North York Moors magazine for 2027. The magazine specification includes a 52-page interior plus four-page cover (finished size 270mm x 190mm, portrait orientation) printed in full colour on FSC-certified paper (70gsm silk inside, 115gsm gloss cover). Finishing must include book folding, two-wire stitching, and trimming. Artwork is due 22 February 2027, printing must be completed by 5 March 2027, and delivery to the distributor is required by 11 March 2027. Delivery should be in bulk pallets with tail-lift vehicle to a UK address between 09:00 and 15:30. All printing and finishing must be completed in-house; subcontracting is not permitted. Quotations must include pricing for the specified quantity and delivery, delivery timescale from artwork receipt, and details of environmental credentials. Alternative lower-cost paper options are welcome but only considered if the preferred specification cannot be met within budget. Paper samples of all proposed types must be submitted by 30 November 2026. Evaluation will be based on a 60:40 price-to-quality ratio, with quality assessed on print quality (35%), paper quality (25%), finishing (15%), timescale (15%), and environmental credentials (10%).
