Notice Information
Notice Title
Brand and production
Notice Description
Jisc is looking to establish an internal framework, which will service the requirements of Jisc that cannot be wholly delivered in-house. Jisc's marketing and communications directorate operates a virtual agency model, where creative, brand and production requirements are outsourced to external individuals and/or agencies. There is a requirement for a broad range of disciplines that can support the marketing and communications teams, and other areas within Jisc. We are looking for agencies who are collaborative, easy and open to work with, and are excellent at managing healthy relationships with other suppliers. We believe that where appropriate, using multiple suppliers on a single project and utilising their individual strengths can bring out a much richer, more interesting and successful output. Interested parties must firstly be registered with the portal; if the registration has elapsed or is not accessible to the bidder, only the platform provider has access to supplier registrations. Registration to the portal nor 'accessing' the procurement/ online tender opportunity is not considered as an expression of interest or submission to any specific procurement process - a clear response must be made in line with the requirements of the ITT suite.
