Located in Newcastle upon Tyne, this project is currently at the planning stage, with key milestones including an engagement end date set for 22nd March 2018 at 5pm. The procurement aims to enhance the university’s brand identity through a comprehensive update of its estate's signage and wayfinding displays, with a focus on suppliers experienced in similar projects. Relevant notifications for this opportunity have been published on Contracts Finder. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in signage, graphic design, and project management to grow. Companies that can demonstrate previous experience in managing end-to-end branding projects would be particularly well-suited to compete. The university is looking for partners capable of providing innovative design options and managing the procurement of new signage, suggesting that firms with a strong background in creative solutions and compliance with educational institutions’ financial regulations will find this project appealing. ## Notice The University of Northumbria at Newcastle is seeking expressions of interest from suppliers that can demonstrate previous experience in supporting clients to introduce and bring to life a new brand identity, through replacement of all estate signage and wayfinding displays.

Partners will be expected to provide a variety of design options conforming with brand guidelines, manage the procurement of all new signage in accordance with University financial regulations, and manage the delivery and replacement of all new installations as defined by the final agreed scheme. This will include liaising with local authority and managing any associated planning approvals. Expressions of interest will only be considered from providers that have proven previous experience in managing and delivering all aspects of the proposed project requirements.
