Description

The British Film Institute (BFI) is seeking a supplier to deliver retail distribution services for the Sight & Sound magazine to both the UK and international markets, on a three years plus two further optional years basis, totalling five potential years. Having recently redesigned and relaunched the magazine to a hugely positive response from industry and readers, the BFI are seeking a distribution partner that is the best fit for the efficient management of the magazine’s retail sales as well as providing the best opportunities for growing the magazine’s business. We welcome applications from consultants, agencies or directly from the distributor themselves to provide this service. This requirement is below the PA23 threshold, but is being undertaken as a competitive process under the Open Procedure in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 (PA 2023), as best practice.
