Tender description

Jisc are looking to establish a multi-lot framework, which will service the requirements of Jisc that can’t be wholly delivered in-house. This is a request for information at this stage and we are interested in suppliers' perspective on our model. 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 full-service agencies with a broad range of disciplines that can support the marketing and communications teams and other areas within Jisc. We are looking agencies for collaborative, easy and open to work with and be 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. This lot is focused around delivering big-thinking creative concepts and brand building ideas and solutions. We will be seeking to engage with a creative and brand agency to help us drive the Jisc brand in powerful and engaging ways. They must able to provide creative ideas and integrated solutions to support directorate and business strategy. We are interested to hear from design agencies, whose operating model is predominately (solely if preferable) in this industry. The agency must be able to design and produce collateral across a broad range of disciplines, for both print and online media. This lot is focused on the delivery of design for a wide range outputs, for both online and offline channels. We require a high quality, professional output with a creative and fresh approach, but which respects and operates within the Jisc brand guidelines. In order to produce the films that Jisc’s marketing engagement team are responsible for, we are looking for agencies who are flexible, organised and can deliver to strict deadlines. As the films that Jisc require can have a varied messaging, audience and purpose, we require a creative and fresh approach to each individual film. We require a high quality, professional output to all our films, which is in keeping with the Jisc film brand guidelines.
