## Summary

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is seeking design agencies to appoint to a Framework Agreement for Design Services, focused on graphic design services within the advertising and marketing industry. This procurement process is currently in the Award stage, having been officially awarded on 16 January 2017. The Framework Agreement will last for a term of two years, commencing on 3 January 2017 and concluding on 2 January 2019, with a possible extension of up to 24 months. The services will be delivered across various locations including the United Kingdom and other regions such as the British Overseas Territories and Europe.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for creative agencies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to collaborate with a prominent organization like the BBC.

Businesses with expertise in graphic design and an ability to work across diverse creative briefs would be well-suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice
