Graphic Tenders

Two routes. Search the portals directly for live briefs, or get in earlier by tracking the buyers who retender design work on a cycle. Stotles pulls notices from 100+ portals into one place, so a council design framework and a museum exhibition graphics lot land in the same feed. Platform-wide, 2,137 tenders are open right now.

Broader than a logo. Across the 1,692 notices on record the work splits into design service frameworks, applied graphics such as vehicle liveries and window or display panels, and exhibition and interpretation graphics for museums and visitor sites. Much of it is bundled with print management, so read the lot structure before assuming which part you can bid for.

The main one is 79822500 (Graphic design services), which appeared on 28 of the 50 most recent matching notices. Two others turn up regularly: 79415200 (Design consultancy services) and 79930000 (Specialty design services). Buyers tag inconsistently, and plenty of on-intent notices carry only a printing code, so treat codes as a starting point rather than a filter.

Volume is high and the live window is narrow. Only 15 of the 1,692 notices on record are open at once, while 677 are already awarded, so the practical route in is getting onto frameworks and knowing who holds the incumbent contract. Across the public sector, 53% of suppliers landed just one to five contracts last year (Stotles 2026 Supplier Benchmark Report).

Councils, universities, museums and central government departments, mostly through their communications and marketing teams. The 50 most recent matching notices are dominated by design frameworks and design-and-print lots. Platform-wide, 0 notices were added in the last seven days, and 4 of the matches here were published in that window.
