UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Equality and Human Rights Commission is procuring graphic design services through a framework agreement. The work covers designing publications such as research reports and business plans, together with static infographics and simple GIFs. Services will support the Commission’s communications and public-facing information. Delivery is required across England, Wales and Scotland. The requirement is classified as graphic design services. Suppliers will work with a central government public authority and should be able to provide design outputs suitable for formal reports, strategic documents, data-led visual content and simple animated assets. The framework is intended for suitably qualified and experienced graphic design businesses, including small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement has reached tender: the Equality and Human Rights Commission invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It uses one framework lot, with electronic submission allowed. Enquiries had to be submitted by 25 August 2026 at 17:00, and offers by 8 September 2026 at 13:00. The framework is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028, with two discretionary 12-month renewal periods that could extend the arrangement to 31 October 2030. Its estimated value is £40,000 excluding VAT, or £48,000 including VAT. Evaluation is weighted 10% price and 90% quality. Call-off contracts will use tendered hourly rates and may be awarded with or without reopening competition.

This opportunity suits graphic design agencies, freelance-led studios and other suppliers with demonstrable experience producing professional publications, research reports, business plans, static infographics and simple GIFs. Bidders need the qualifications and practical experience to deliver varied design work for a public authority, translating written and research-based content into clear, polished visual communications. The framework approach may suit businesses able to provide services on an hourly-rate basis for individual call-off requirements, whether work is awarded directly under the framework or competed again among framework suppliers. It is explicitly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it relevant to smaller specialist design providers as well as established agencies.
