Four companies have submitted tenders to publish and print the REPs' Journal.

For the past four years Multitrax, whose contract with REPs ended at the beginning of the year, has produced the Journal. Registrar Jean-Ann Marnoch said: "We've seen the Journal go from strength to strength since it was launched and are sure that its future will be just as exciting."

A short-list of tenders is now being drawn up and a final decision will be made by the end of the month (April).
