      Magazines. Newspapers, journals, periodicals and magazines. Newsprint, handmade paper and other uncoated paper or paperboard for graphic purposes. Sight & Sound: The International Film Magazine was first published in 1932 and to this day maintains an international reputation as the leading magazine for those with a serious appreciation of film from all corners of the globe. The magazine has, in the past, enjoyed an extremely high subscriber retention rate partly as a result of our status as a ‘Journal of Record’ whose duty it is to review and provide credits and production information for every film that gets a theatrical release in the UK. As such we are perceived by a proportion of our readers as a ‘reference’ title and are therefore collected avidly by the serious film-buff as well as operating a substantial number of academic/library subscriptions. This also means that we manage an extensive library of Back Issues and generate regular sales from this library. For more information, please visit: www.bfi.org.uk/sightandsound. We are inviting tenders for the supply of both the magazine’s print fulfilment AND paper supply requirements. You may bid for one or both lots.** Please Note: to express an interest in this tender, please visit out eProcurement Portal at http://www.bfi.org.uk/about-bfi/business-services/selling-bfi where you will be required to register if you have not already done so.
