Description

NOTE: This notice was updated on 24 November 2016 for the following reason: Contract type amended to ServicesWe are looking for an agile, creative and innovative brand, design and digital services agency partner who can work with us on strategic and tactical projects and tasks, to help us maintain, build and evolve our brand and design.

We will require our brand and design agency to manage day to day brand services such as the printing production and delivery of business cards, brand guidelines, stationery and templates. They will also need to manage urgent and last-minute ad-hoc requests for design support for example imagery within presentations, logo management and graphic design.

The agency will also need to be large enough to comfortably manage one-off large projects, which we may choose to request them to fulfil, for example managing design and print production of a report such as our recent Spotlight report which can be found on the BBB website. Please be aware this would be considered a one-off project and would be tendered and managed separately from this contract.

It is also vital that the agency we choose has extensive experience working with both Public and Private sector companies and has a strong understanding of the UK SME landscape and the issues affecting small business funding. A working knowledge of UK Government and the understanding of balancing the requirement for high-quality work aligned to being careful with public money is important.
