The commission covers research and stakeholder engagement; development of brand strategy and architecture; visual and verbal identity; brand guidelines, templates and other brand assets; implementation and rollout planning; student engagement; and training and handover to internal teams. The supplier will work collaboratively with DN Colleges Group and alongside a separately commissioned website development project. This is a professional services requirement covering design consultancy, marketing strategy and management, advertising and marketing, and graphic design. The buying organisation is DN Colleges Group, based at The Hub, Chappell Drive, Doncaster. Delivery is described across the United Kingdom, Europe and other international locations, including the Channel Islands, Isle of Man and British Overseas Territories. The procurement has reached tender: DN Colleges Group invited offers through an open procedure. The deadline for submissions was 29 September 2026 at 12:00 BST. The contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 30 April 2027. Its estimated value is £60,000. The requirement is presented as a single service package rather than separate lots. The tender documentation sets out the full requirements, mandatory criteria, evaluation methodology and pricing instructions. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Suppliers should review the tender requirements and pricing instructions before preparing an offer, particularly because delivery must be coordinated with the separate website development project and the commission includes both strategic brand work and practical implementation support. This opportunity suits a specialist branding, design or marketing consultancy able to take an organisation through a complete rebranding programme, from discovery and stakeholder engagement to rollout and internal adoption. Relevant capability includes brand research, stakeholder facilitation, brand strategy and architecture, visual identity systems, verbal identity, graphic design, brand guidelines, templates and production-ready assets. The work also calls for practical implementation planning, meaningful student engagement, and the ability to train and hand over effectively to internal teams. Suppliers should be comfortable working collaboratively with a large education group and coordinating their work with a separate website development team. It is suitable for SMEs, and would particularly fit a consultancy with a multidisciplinary team combining strategic, creative, engagement, delivery and knowledge-transfer experience. ## Notice DN Colleges Group is seeking to appoint a specialist to deliver a comprehensive brand strategy and rebranding commission across the Group.
