Visual Identity Tenders and Contracts

Visual identity tenders cover brand and visual identity design, brand refreshes and brand guidelines, graphic design, and the visual assets that carry an identity across campaigns, publications and exhibitions. Work that uses the word "visual" for a different reason sits elsewhere: building condition and visual surveys, and audio-visual equipment installation, which are closer to construction and AV-technology procurement.

Stotles brings together visual identity 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. Brand identity work is usually a single commission for one organisation, and some public bodies set up creative and content frameworks to cover campaigns and design.

Brand assets for public bodies must meet the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018 for digital use, and Welsh bodies need bilingual identities under the Welsh Language Standards. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar work at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Councils, universities, colleges, museums, combined authorities and arm's-length public bodies run most visual identity work, typically for a rebrand, a new venue or programme, or a refresh of campaign and publication design.

Read communications strategies, rebrand and merger plans, new venue and programme launches and framework renewal dates, which show visual identity 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.

Visual identity and brand design notices most often carry 79822500 (Graphic design services), 79415200 (Design consultancy services) and 79933000 (Design support services), usually alongside a marketing or advertising code where the brief covers a wider campaign.
