Located in Bedford, England with the postal code MK44 3WH, the procurement is in the tender stage, requiring interested vendors to submit their competitive quotations by 21st July 2025, 17:00 BST. The tender period envisages the contract commencing on 1st September 2025 and concluding on 31st August 2028, with a possibility of a 12-month extension.

Firms that are adaptable, resourceful, and possess a capacity for varied graphic design tasks on a flexible "as needed" basis will be well-suited to compete for this opportunity, particularly given its reliance on "limited" procurement via competitive quotations below the threshold, broadening access for varied businesses to compete effectively.
