Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport (DfTc) has awarded a contract for the creative development and production of graphic communication materials, with a value of £750,000. This procurement was conducted via the selective method, using a call-off from the Crown Commercial Services Framework RM6124. The contract period commenced on 4th April 2022 and will run until 31st March 2025. The project encompasses both printed and digital media tailored to various audiences, and requires compliance with accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1).
