Sport Newspapers also plans to launch a new title in September.
Bgp has worked with Sport Newspapers for about four years. It will print the bulk of the copies on the Heidelberg Sunday 4000 48pp web at its Bicester site, while the magazines will be finished on a 1m-plus Muller Martini Tempo stitcher that went live at Bicester last week.
John Cooling, managing director of bgps parent, Goodhead Group, said: Working with Sport Newspapers has always been a stimulating and enjoyable experience for our company and we are delighted that they have shown such faith in our abilities in awarding this contract.
Sport Newspapers has got to be up there in our top 10 customers.
Bgp has plants in Bicester and Colchester, which houses a 64pp MAN Roland Lithoman. As well as the Sunday 4000, Bicester also uses three Komori System 38 webs.
The Goodhead Group was at number 37 in last years PrintWeek Top 500 with sales of 60m. It also includes Stones the Printers in Banbury.
Earlier this year, bgps Bicester plant won a major deal to print the Independent on Sundays new supplement, Talk of the Town (PrintWeek, 28 February).
