Publication Distribution Services

The way in which a Council communicates with local residents can have a huge

impact on its reputation. The London Borough of Hackney is seeking a service

provider that will carry out distribution of its regular print publication.

Independent research carried out by MORI showed that one of the most effective

ways a Council can improve its image is to communicate through a regular Council

publication.

The London Borough of Hackney is fully committed to producing a publication that is

delivered door-to-door and which:

• Provides unbiased, factual, useful and interesting information on the services

it provides, as well as community news and stories from partner organisations

• Encourages residents to play an active role in their communities

• Facilitates access to Council services by residents

• Acts as a vehicle for community engagement

• Offers an opportunity for residents to feed back their views

• Fosters a sense of community spirit

The purpose of this exercise is to establish a distribution agreement, which is set to

run alongside a new print contract, that provides best value for money for the

distribution of Hackney Council's publication. The duration of the agreement is four

years.
