Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery Trust is procuring creative agency services to develop a distinct visual identity and communications brand for its new Active Gallery space. The gallery will combine activity taking place on the gallery floor with collections storage, as part of Project Tullie Phase 3: Breaking Down Barriers. The requirement covers advertising and marketing services, including graphic design and brand identity work. Delivery is in the North West of England, for a project led by the Trust in Carlisle. This is a services contract suited to agencies that can translate a cultural organisation’s aims and a new visitor-facing space into a coherent visual and communications identity.

The process reached tender: Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery Trust invited offers through a limited competitive quotation procedure below the public procurement threshold. The buyer set the submission deadline as 24 August 2026 at 10:00. The contract period is scheduled to run from 21 September 2026 to 26 February 2027. The requirement is presented as a single scope rather than separate lots. The stated procurement category is services, covering advertising, marketing and graphic design. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable participants. The opportunity concerns agency appointment for the Active Gallery brand identity and associated communications work.

This opportunity suits a small or medium-sized branding, graphic design, advertising or communications agency with the ability to develop a distinctive visual identity and apply it consistently across communications for a cultural or visitor-facing project. Strong candidates are likely to be able to interpret the relationship between public activity, collections storage and the wider Breaking Down Barriers project, then turn that understanding into a clear brand proposition. Relevant capability includes identity development, graphic design, visual systems and marketing communications. Agencies able to manage a defined branding commission, work with a museum or gallery client and deliver a coherent identity for a new space should find the requirement commercially relevant.
