Invitation to tender - Broadcaster Magazine Production

The Broads Authority is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to manage the production, printing and advertising sales for its annual visitor magazine, Broadcaster.

The Broads Authority is responsible for conserving and enhancing the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of the Broads area, alongside promoting enjoyment of the area and looking after the interests of navigation.

Broadcaster has been published annually since 1994 and is highly regarded as the only comprehensive publication for visitors to the Broads. Around 75% of holiday motorboat hirers receive a copy, and the magazine provides land and water-based visitors with a wide range of useful information, including safety advice, that may not otherwise be accessed online.

The contract will commence on 1 October 2026 and is expected to be completed by 1 April 2029, covering three annual editions. The initial contract will be for a three-year term, with the option to extend for up to a further 24 months.

The deadline for applications is 1 September 2026.

For more information and to apply, visit: www.broads-authority.gov.uk/tenders
