Scope

Description

The University of Derby (UoD) is currently developing its procurement requirements and is potentially seeking to appoint one or more providers for a comprehensive organisational re-brand that goes way beyond a logo of the Derby Theatre.

Providers are invited to attend a market engagement event to help shape and inform a new service model and service specification.

The event will cover an overview of our requirements, as follows:

Module A: Brand strategy and consultancy

Module B: Design, tone and visual identity

Module C: Digital (Website re-skin and potential re-builds)

The aim of the market engagement event is to: give an overview of the Lots and services to be provided; explore market experience and appetite; explain the procurement process and anticipated timeline; allows questions and feedback from the market. We are gathering information to enable us to identify potential providers that they can meet the UoD's visions and support our recruitment objectives.

The market engagement event will be held virtually using Teams during the week commencing 17 November 2025 (date and time will be confirmed after interest has been registered).
