## Summary

The procurement process by JISC, a public authority in the United Kingdom, is currently in the tender stage, with the intention to establish a brand and production internal framework. Located in Bristol, JISC is seeking collaborative external agencies for its marketing and communications directorate. The contract involves several lots for graphic design and production services across various channels. The tender, titled "Brand and Production," falls under the services category and employs an open procedure. The tender period ends on 23rd March 2026, with the award period concluding on 20th April 2026. Successful contracts will start on 1st May 2026, potentially extending until 2030. The procurement aims to enable disciplined delivery in graphic design services throughout the UK.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for agencies specialising in graphic design, film production, and brand communication disciplines. Businesses suited to this opportunity include those adept at managing collaborative projects, showing creative innovation within established brand guidelines. Companies with experience in handling international markets stand to benefit, especially those offering high-quality, fresh creative approaches. The framework will select suppliers capable of fulfilling specific design and production briefs, enabling them to work within a compliant procurement route. The tender encourages participation from SMEs, fostering a diverse supplier base capable of delivering varied creative services.

## Notice

Jisc is looking to establish an internal framework, which will service the requirements of Jisc that cannot be wholly delivered in-house. Jisc's marketing and communications directorate operates a virtual agency model, where creative, brand and production requirements are outsourced to external individuals and/or agencies. There is a requirement for a broad range of disciplines that can support the marketing and communications teams, and other areas within Jisc. We are looking for agencies who are collaborative, easy and open to work with, and are excellent at managing healthy relationships with other suppliers. We believe that where appropriate, using multiple suppliers on a single project and utilising their individual strengths can bring out a much richer, more interesting and successful output. Interested parties must firstly be registered with the portal; if the registration has elapsed or is not accessible to the bidder, only the platform provider has access to supplier registrations. Registration to the portal nor 'accessing' the procurement/ online tender opportunity is not considered as an expression of interest or submission to any specific procurement process - a clear response must be made in line with the requirements of the ITT suite.
