## Notice

We are seeking to appoint a supplier to provide digital production support on a monthly retainer basis. The supplier will work alongside an internal production team to increase capacity for the creation of a variety of digital creative projects. Content produced by the supplier will need to compliment in style and tone, existing materials produced in-house and by third party suppliers. When developing new content with no existing precedent the supplier will need to ensure the final production is in-line with the established University brand guidelines. It is expected the retainer would be for, on average but not a guaranteed, 40 hours a month. The winning supplier would be expected to provide flexibility in monthly allowances around this average. For example, 20 hours one month followed by 60 hours in the following. This opportunity was advertised to Lot 1 (Web Services, SEO and digital content) suppliers of the Dynamic Purchasing System (NU1589).
