Establish your vision and priorities for your journals’ portfolio
Selecting the right publisher for your journals is a key decision which will influence the future success of your publishing program. Whether you are a self-publishing Society, or are already in a partnership and considering a change of publisher, I can manage the tender process from start to finish including publisher selection and communications, attendance at meetings, proposal evaluation, shortlisting and contract negotiation. With full involvement from staff, editorial teams and society officers, I will work with you to:
Ideally, you should start this process at least 18 months prior to the contract renewal, subject to limitations on transfer of your existing agreement. I am always happy to review your current arrangements with you as a first step. Alternatively, I can provide support throughout the full tender process, ensuring that you get the best value for money and maximum return from your publishing agreement.
Testimonials
British Veterinary Association
The British Veterinary Association (BVA) engaged Renew to support us through the process of securing a new long-term publishing agreement through competitive tender. Julie Neason’s advice and support was hugely helpful from the start, and she took much of the burden of managing the process off our small in-house team. Her market insights and network of contacts were invaluable. Julie took time to understand our requirements and ensured that these were fully detailed in the Request for Proposal (RfP). Following a comprehensive competitive tender process, we were able to secure a very positive outcome and as a result took the decision to switch to a new publisher. Julie was a pleasure to work with throughout and I would be very happy to recommend Renew.

Royal Pharmaceutical Society
Julie Neason from Renew provided invaluable support and guidance throughout our journals’ tender. From start to finish, the project was very well managed with considerate and consistent engagement with RPS stakeholders and potential publishers – assessing final proposals, advising at presentations through to extremely complex contract negotiations. Julie helped us achieve all of our goals, and we would highly recommend Renew to support you with your tender process.
