Description
To help Cefas meet the increasing need to communicate with audiences, we require to engage a variety of organisations to cover the expanding 'Creative Services' requirement by generating a Creative Services framework delivered over 3 Lots. The 'Creative Services Framework' will enable pre-appointed suppliers to be engaged in a 'call-off' style fashion providing a swift and compliant route to market as and when requirements are identified.
Tenderers have the opportunity to bid for all or any combination of the Lots, but a separate Tender must be submitted per Lot. The Lots are described below:
- Lot 1 Graphic Design
- Lot 2 Audio Visual Production
- Lot 3 Editorial and Communications Strategy
Full details are contained within the Tender package.
