In plain English
The British Council is setting up a framework agreement, which is a pre-approved list of suppliers it can call on repeatedly, for graphic design, printing and production of its printed and promotional materials. The estimated value is £54,582. The work covers stationery, identification cards, banners, signage, certificates, merchandise and marketing materials for its programmes and events.
What the buyer wants
• Design and produce a wide range of printed and promotional items, from business cards and letterheads to banners, signage, brochures and merchandise • Provide graphic design services to develop these materials to the buyer's requirements • Deliver regular production work across the buyer's programmes, events and stakeholder engagement activities, as and when required
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not state any specific qualification, certification or experience threshold, but its broad, ongoing scope covering many different product types could be difficult for a very small business to supply consistently without sufficient production capacity.
Always check the tender documents.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
Where to apply
The notice doesn't name a website for bids. Ask the buyer how to apply, using the contact on the official notice.
