Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe Regional Waste Management Planning Offices in Ireland are setting up a multi-party framework agreement for creative and graphic design services. Work must follow the MyWaste branding guidelines, align with the aesthetic of www.gov.ie and mywaste.ie, and build on existing campaign messaging, though the guidelines need not fully dictate new assets. Selected assets must also be produced in Irish, with Irish text supplied after English content is approved; translation into other languages may also be required. All created files become the property of the relevant Contracting Authority. The framework has two lots: Lot 1 for creative services valued up to €20,000, estimated at €1,000,000, and Lot 2 for services above €20,001 with an initial call-off contract, estimated at €2,000,000. The project is subject to funding.
Description

Expected award price
- likely award for this notice, from its published estimate of €3,000,000
- €3.0M to €3.0M
Comparable awards in this country and sector came in at a median of 100% of their published estimate, half of them between 100% and 100%, based on 315 awards of the last 3 years.
Each award is compared with the estimate of the same lots, framework agreements excluded. A published estimate may include options and renewals, so an award under it is not always a discount.
