Description

The College is looking to engage freelance graphic designers to provide professional design expertise, flexibility and high-quality visual content for our Director of Marketing. The College is looking for freelancers with specialised skills that can bring fresh ideas and creative solutions to ensure the College stands out from the competition. The anticipated annual budget is expected to fall between £25k & £30k inc. vat - this is an estimate and not a guaranteed commitment. The top 3 x ranked suppliers will be awarded a place on the framework, these will be the highest scoring showing at the award stage. The option for creating a direct award or running a mini-competition between the top 3 x ranked suppliers is also included to secure best value. As part of the pricing schedule on Appendix B please can you provide a price for each of the designs detailed including 2 sets of amends and from this list submit no more than 3 examples (in total) from your portfolio with at least 1 for an education provider. This provision is to run from 01/04/2026-31/03/2028, with the option to extend for a further 2 x 1 years, upon mutual agreement. This opportunity is now live on the College's In-Tend portal.
