Summary of the contracting process

The University of Glasgow has successfully awarded the PURCH2665 Framework Agreement for the Provision of Graphic Design Services, focussing on both standard and complex brand design services. With its framework divided into two lots, this procurement process followed a competitive procedure with negotiation, aiming to appoint three suppliers per lot over a maximum four-year term. The standard design services lot was awarded to agencies such as Big Think Agency, Creative Triangle, and Morton Ward Ltd, whilst Digitronix Ltd and RBL Brand Agency took on the complex design lot. These services, primarily located in Glasgow, fall under the category of graphic design, aligning with CPV code 79822500. The procurement was completed as of February 2026, accompanied by service agreements totalling £1,000,000. Specific criteria, including quality and price, guided the tender process, ensuring a comprehensive range of design capabilities was matched with University brand guidelines and customer service standards.

This framework offers significant avenues for business growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises specialising in digital and print design. Businesses capable of delivering high-quality and future-proof design solutions, while meeting customer service and sustainability expectations, stand to benefit. The value of the contracts underscores a commitment to substantial investment in design and branding, reflecting potential long-term collaboration opportunities. Enterprises with strengths in creative concept development, brand evolution, and multimedia services including copyrighting, microsite development, and art direction will find these engagements particularly aligned with their strategic growth plans. As the framework supports initiatives such as the Living Wage and community benefits, suppliers who align with these values and ethics may find additional advantages in this collaborative venture with the University of Glasgow.
