WCC - Creative and Content services Framework

Warwickshire County Council · Local authority

In brief

Warwickshire County Council has announced plans to buy printing work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £560,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 2 years, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 15 December 2026.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 4.5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 16 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £560,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Warwickshire County Council currently commissions external graphic design services through an existing framework arrangement that is due to expire at the end of 2026. As the Council's communications needs have evolved, there is now a requirement for a broader range of creative and content services, including graphic design, video and film production, photography, copywriting, campaign development, and animation. The Council is therefore exploring the establishment of a new Creative and Content Services Framework to support these requirements. Prior to commencing any procurement activity, the Council is undertaking preliminary market engagement to seek feedback from organisations with expertise in these service areas, particularly in relation to the proposed framework structure and lotting arrangements. Feedback and responses received will assist the Council in refining its approach, understanding market capability and capacity, and identifying any potential barriers to participation. This exercise is being conducted solely to gather market intelligence and does not form part of any formal procurement process. Participation in this engagement will not confer any advantage in any future procurement opportunity.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
