Graphic Design Tenders and Contracts

See open graphic design tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.

Graphic design procurement here covers design services and the applied graphics that go with them: vehicle liveries, window and display graphics, exhibition and interpretation panels, signage artwork. Councils, universities, museums and central government departments are the buyers, and the work usually arrives as a design framework or a design-and-print lot rather than a single brief.

Frameworks and mini-competitions carry most of the volume, so the fastest way in is reading who holds the incumbent contract.

  • How do I find graphic design tenders in the UK?

    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.

  • What kind of work do graphic design tenders cover?

    Broader than a logo. 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.

  • What CPV codes are used for graphic design contracts?

    The main one is 79822500 (Graphic design services). 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.

  • How competitive are UK graphic design tenders?

    Volume is high and the live window is narrow. Only a small share of notices matching this filter sit open at any one time, while the majority are already awarded, so the practical route in is getting onto frameworks and knowing who holds the incumbent contract.

  • Who buys graphic design in the public sector?

    Councils, universities, museums and central government departments buy graphic design, mostly through their communications and marketing teams. Design frameworks and design-and-print lots dominate.
