Summary of the contracting process

The Cefas, a public authority based in Lowestoft, United Kingdom, is inviting tenders for the "CEFAS21-64 Creative Services Framework", classified under the services category, specifically focusing on graphic design and other creative support services. The procurement process is currently in the active stage, with submission deadlines set for 11 October 2021.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and specialist agencies in the creative industry, particularly in graphic design, audio-visual production, and editorial services. Businesses with expertise in developing innovative branding strategies, engaging digital content creation, and communication strategies would be well-suited to compete, given that suppliers can bid on individual lots within the framework.
