## Summary

UHI Moray is seeking a supplier to develop a comprehensive brand and visual identity for its Business Enterprise Hub, including supporting assets and full brand guidelines. The brand should reflect the Hub’s purpose, values and ambitions, appeal to its target audiences, and distinguish it from competitors. It must also cover the Hub’s role as the UHI Centre for Business Enterprise and Innovation, and provide a framework for future marketing and communications. The work includes liaising with UHI’s web team, which is developing a standalone Hub website. The requirement is funded through the Moray Growth Deal, in association with the UK and Scottish governments. This is a branding and design consultancy assignment, with related advertising and marketing services, for delivery in Elgin, Moray.

UHI Moray invited proposals through an open procedure, and the process reached the tender stage. Bids were due by 2 November 2026 at 16:00, with questions and bid opening scheduled for the same time. The contract period runs from 4 January to 5 July 2027. Bids must be in English; variants are not allowed and bids must remain valid for 90 days. Evaluation gives 30% to price and 70% to quality: team expertise and experience, methodology and stakeholder engagement, accessibility and inclusion, creative quality and differentiation, assets and knowledge transfer, project management, fair work practices, and a presentation. Suppliers must pass legal-capability and financial checks, including providing two years of audited accounts or an equivalent financial statement. Required insurance cover is £5 million for employers’ and public liability and at least £1 million for professional liability.

This opportunity suits an established branding or design consultancy able to lead a complete identity-development project, from stakeholder engagement and creative development through to usable brand assets, guidance and implementation. The buyer is looking for evidence of relevant team expertise, a sound development methodology, strong design quality and the ability to create a distinctive identity that works inclusively across audiences and applications. Suppliers should be able to manage communications, project risks and knowledge transfer, and present their proposals. The chosen provider will work alongside a web team, so experience preparing brand materials for use in a standalone website and wider marketing activity is relevant. Staff names and qualifications must be supplied. Bidders need to demonstrate financial capacity and meet the specified insurance levels; no professional or trade-register enrolment is required.

## Notice

UHI Moray invites proposals from suitably qualified and experienced companies to develop a comprehensive brand and visual identity and supporting assets for the Hub including comprehensive brand guidelines.
