## Summary

The Money Advice Service (MAS) is initiating a tender process for the establishment of a framework for Design Services, aimed at enhancing its brand through creative arts. The procurement falls under the services category and is intended to operate over a two-year period, commencing on 13 November 2017 and concluding on 11 October 2019, with a potential one-year extension. Interested suppliers must submit their proposals by the deadline of 19 October 2017, and the tender is being conducted through an open procedure below the financial threshold. The tender is currently live, and additional information is available via the eTendering portal.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in design and artwork services, particularly those with expertise in creative communications and workflow efficiency. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as they can complement MAS's in-house capabilities and provide the necessary specialist expertise to meet the anticipated increasing demand for design-related services. Being involved in this framework could be beneficial for businesses looking to expand their service offerings and establish a partnership with a reputable organisation in the government sector.
