Communications FW

NGN requires a Framework to call off suppliers for various services (Lots) within the business Internal and External Communications arena. We want to widen our opportunities to be able to utilise the advanced technology available in today's market for internal and external communications activities.

The scope of the requirements will be divided into 6 individual Lots as follows:

LOT 1 - Design and Interactive

LOT 2 - Print

LOT 3 - Copywriting

LOT 4 - Film, Video and Animation

LOT 5 - Internal Communications Consultancy

LOT 6 - Event and Exhibition Management

LOT 1 - Design & Interactive

Design services for print and online including strategic thinking, creative development, graphic design, illustration and art working.

NGN is looking for strategic creative partners to work as an extension to the in-house design team to support on varied projects from research and insight to design realisation.

The NGN Comms team is responsible for communicating to a wide range of audiences through print, online and mobile, from campaign creative to flyers, leaflets, letters, and brochures to corporate reports, branded merchandise, promotional signage, banners and posters.

Acting as NGN's brand guardian, the appointed partners will deliver inspired design that challenges convention and delivers results.

Interactive - NGN is looking for partners to demonstrate strong project management skills and the ability to deliver to tight timeframes without compromising quality.

NGN is evolving its online and mobile strategy and is seeking innovative partners to support website design and development, social and digital marketing.

We are looking for strategic and creative partners to support with the development of project websites, improve the online experience for users and build and promote NGN's reputation by growing the online community through clever and engaging digital content.

NGN's preferred approach would be for suppliers to have an in-house design team rather than outsourcing to freelance designers, NGN would however accept if suppliers may look to outsource work occasionally but not on a regular basis.

To provide some further understanding, some of NGN's Ad-Hoc support requires the successful bidders to meet tight timelines and occasionally may require a small project turning around in a couple of days. Our brand manager/designer would provide the timescales required and we would usually allow 2 weeks depending on the size of the workload to ensure the supplier had resource available to support. Or if we required website creation for instance, then we would hold a kick-off meeting and work together to develop a critical pathway months in advance of the project delivery.

Content must meet accessibility criteria and be produced in line with NGN's brand guidelines. In addition, at the end of every design project we require the design files sending to enable our in-house team to edit any text changes there may be.
