How to win: Multi-Supplier Agreement for Design Services

About this contract

1.1 The University regularly requires creative design support across a wide range of marketing, communications, recruitment, student engagement, events, and internal and external stakeholder activity. 1.2 While some design provision is delivered in-house, the University requires a roster of external design agencies to provide additional expertise, capacity and specialist support. This will enable the University to deliver a range of design projects across different budgets, timescales and formats, while maintaining quality, consistency and alignment with London Metropolitan University's brand. 1.3 The appointed agencies will support both day-to-day design requirements and larger strategic or flagship projects. This may include small-scale design and artwork tasks, campaign creative, publications, digital assets, event materials, student recruitment collateral and brand development work.
