  • Technical skills (E.g., Adobe Creative Cloud)
  • Branding (compliance with brand guidelines)
  • Experience of design for print and online
  • Knowledge of accessibility of online documents and familiar with accessibility tools within Microsoft and Adobe suites Additional information: The initial value of this Framework will be zero, but will carry the potential for subsequent business opportunities to be awarded via further competition through a quick quote call-out process.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 10 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 1 point. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Graphic Design Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 5 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
