LJMU has an internal design studio, however there is a requirement to use external designers at busy times throughout the year. Working within LJMU brand guidelines we wish to establish a Framework of Creative Agencies/External Designers (approx. three agencies in total). LJMU will require the Creative Agencies/ External Designers to: • Provide design solutions for a variety of printed marketing communication material - leaflets, brochures, display stands etc. • Provide graphics for use in digital advertising, including re-sizing existing artwork • Revise existing marketing material • create new graphics to support a specific campaign/project This is a below threshold procurement exercise

| 1 | Specialty design services | Not published |
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Specialty design services (79930000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 79 | 5,842 | 3 median · 31.3 average (1,896 of 5,842 with a bid count) | 3.1 average (2,120 of 5,842 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 5 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKC | 311 | 1.5 median · 18.9 average (102 of 311 with a bid count) | 3.2 average (112 of 311 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 641 | 3.5 median · 7 average (22 of 641 with a bid count) | 1 average (22 of 641 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.
