Lot Information
Lot 1
Places for London (Places), needs the support of external creative agencies to assist them with meeting the BU annual turnover figure of PS89m, which provides significant income into TfL and is set to grow considerably over the coming years. Whilst the needs of Places are similar to TfL, they differ mainly in the target audience, with their main target audiences being business to business (B2B). This along with a property derived backdrop, the supply bases are of a similar nature but differ slightly. Places requirements include the manufacturing of large print format campaign artwork, as well as technical aspects including survey sites, create artwork schematics and safely install artwork within both operational and non-operational settings.
Options: This is a two year contract with the option to extend plus 1, plus 1
