Official Publisher for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency

The MCA has a requirement to appoint a publisher to produce the 'official version' of the MCA's publications. The successful tenderer will be known as the 'MCA Official Publisher' and will be required to reproduce, publish and distribute these MCA publications.

The publications will be produced at the 'Official Publisher's' own expense with the outlay and profit recoverable from the sale of the publication. 'Official publications' includes all 'paid-for' publications such as record books, guidance and mandatory documentation. It does not include MCA's safety leaflets etc which we print ourselves and which are free to members of the public.

The contract will be for 5 years unless extended or terminated.

To bid, tenderers must register on the Department For Transport's e-sourcing portal (Jaggaer) and navigate to ITT 529.
