Editorial content, design & creative services for UCL Portico Magazine.

Portico Magazine is the flagship publication of the Development and Alumni Relations Office.

It is produced annually and is mailed out to over 155,000 UCL alumni worldwide.

It contains articles that highlight UCL involvement in current affairs, profiles alumni who are using their UCL education to make an impact on the wider world and engages the audience with institutional happenings and news.

In 2013, we evaluated the most recent issue of the magazine (then named UCL People) and found that less than 11% of the entire cost of the magazine had been spent on the actual content.

In 2014, we renamed the magazine and invested in our content further to ensure that our flagship publication continued to be impactful with our audiences.

To continue this work we wish to employ an external agency to produce all editorial content for the magazine.

This will include design, photography, images and written content The purpose of this tender is to choose a supplier to produce all editorial content for the magazine inclusive of images, photography and written articles within a budget of £65,000.
