Summary

Machine-generated summary

The 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

As part of delivering the services, MyWaste branding guidelines must be considered in the design/creative process, as outputs from this project should be recognised as part of the overall MyWaste brand. While these branding guidelines should be considered, they need not wholly dictate the creation of new creative assets. Overall branding must also take account of the following websites: • www.gov.ie • mywaste.ie. The aesthetic of any updated/refreshed assets should reflect any relevant existing campaign, and the messaging copy or straplines should seek to build on/further develop the existing messaging. A selection of creative assets will also be required in the Irish language. Once the English content is approved, Irish language text will be supplied for relevant assets. Translation into languages other than Irish may also be required. The MyWaste Brand guidelines will be made available with the Prequalification Questionnaire in the tender documents area of the competition once published. The creative assets and connected materials developed pursuant to contracts awarded under these Frameworks become the property of the relevant Contracting Authority and all relevant files must be transferred to the relevant Contracting Authority. This Multi-party Framework will have two (mutually exclusive) lots: Lot 1 - creative services with an estimated value of up to €20,000 Lot 2 - creative services with an estimated value of above €20,001 with an initial call-off contract For further information please refer to documentation available to download from www.etenders.gov.ie Resource ID xxxxxxx - Input when notice created . Please note that this project is subject to funding. Lot 1: Estimated value €1000000 Lot 2: Estimated value €2000000

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.

Concentrated means the three most frequent winners took 65% or more of the awards; many suppliers, under 35% with at least ten different winners.
