Logo Tenders and Contracts

Logo procurement covers new logos and brand identities for public bodies: a logo for a new organisation, service or destination, a brand kit with guidelines, and the rollout of a new identity across a college or university. Sub-brands and logo lock-ups also come up inside wider creative design contracts.

Stotles brings together logo tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Logo work is usually one part of a wider marketing, creative design or brand strategy contract, and graphic design frameworks carry much of it.

Logo and brand suppliers usually transfer intellectual property in the design to the buyer, and brand guidelines must meet the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018 where they cover digital use. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar contracts at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Sometimes, and those are the small ones. A new place brand, a partnership identity, a service launch: the buyer wants a mark and a short set of guidelines, and the notice says so plainly. The larger contracts are bundles. Graphic design frameworks, website rebuilds and brand identity reviews all carry logo work inside them without putting the word in the title, which is why a bid team watching only for logo tenders sees a fraction of what is there.

Councils, universities, NHS trusts, national libraries and museums, and economic development bodies buy logo design. The pattern is an organisation that has changed shape or launched something: a regeneration corporation, a merged trust, a new visitor destination.

Read communications strategies, campaign calendars, event programmes and framework renewal dates, which show logo work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the communications teams behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.

Logo design notices carry 79822500 (Graphic design services), and brand and website projects that include a logo also carry 72413000 (World wide web site design services).
