## Summary

Newcastle University has awarded a contract for the rebranding of their Team Newcastle visual identity to Pickle Jar Communications Ltd. The tender, titled "(NU/1589 - 67) Team Newcastle Brand Development", is in the services category with a value of £15,000. The procurement method used was a selective procedure with a restricted process, and the tender period ended on 22nd July 2022. The contract period is from 27th August 2022 to 31st March 2023, based in the North East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender provides business growth opportunities for companies specializing in marketing, software development, and consultancy services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are suitable for this procurement. As Newcastle University aims to create a passionate and inclusive identity for Team Newcastle, businesses with expertise in branding and marketing can compete effectively. The successful bidder, Pickle Jar Communications Ltd, will work on rolling out the new identity as a sub-brand of the university to enhance student participation and performance.

## Notice

This tender is for the rebranding of Newcastle University's Team Newcastle visual identity to develop a passionate and inclusive identity for all. Team Newcastle was used previously by the Students' Union (NUSU) but in a more limited way (linked to performance sport/official sports teams) than is envisaged for future usage. It has also been less well used in recent years. The relaunch of a new Team Newcastle brand and identity as a sub-brand of Newcastle University, is a key element of our new Sport and Wellbeing Strategy. The identity plays a vital role in making all our students feel welcomed when it comes to participation and performance. It also draws together every aspect of sport, whether it's the student performance athletes, club members, gym-goers, coaches or support staff. Another key element is the rolling out of the identity to supporters' kit.
