The University has an established framework agreement for the joint design and print management of its publications and promotional material. The current contract expires in June 2008 and the University is seeking to appoint new supplier/s from 1.7.2008.
The University wishes to appoint creative design consultants that will provide a complete and comprehensive service in the areas of brand management and development, and creative design concepts. The agreement will cover a wide range of University publications including Undergraduate and Postgraduate Prospectuses, Welsh Prospectus, Annual Review, internal newsletters, flyers, brochures, magazines, posters, adverts and other publicity materials.
The appointment will also require the supplier to buy and manage print for all projects undertaken. It should be noted that the University does not intend to split the contract between design and print and is seeking a supplier able to offer high standards of service in both.
The University produces a high volume of publications throughout the year and the appointed supplier would be expected to provide fast turnaround and deliver multiple projects at key times during the publications cycle.
