Description

Auto-translated from no

Background Arendal municipality has an ongoing need for graphic services related to information material and visual communication directed at citizens and internal target groups. The municipality produces some material itself but requires external assistance for tasks that are more complex, time-consuming, or require special expertise. The procurement shall ensure access to capacity and relevant expertise in graphic design, while the municipality safeguards the need for holistic visual communication and clear identity. The municipality shall be a single sender. It is also important to ensure that materials and visual deliveries meet accessibility requirements and ensure accessible and understandable communication for different user groups. The municipality therefore needs to establish a new framework agreement that provides predictable access to graphic assistance when needed, for both smaller ongoing assignments and larger or more strategic deliveries. Description of the assignment The procurement concerns graphic services for Arendal municipality. The delivery shall cover assistance with the development and production of various types of graphic material and visual elements, including information material, reports, presentations, templates, graphics for digital platforms, infographics, illustrations, and design advice. The assignments will vary in scope and complexity. The municipality needs a supplier who can assist with both smaller, defined assignments and larger deliveries that require more planning and close cooperation with the client. Smaller assignments mean defined deliveries such as an advertisement, poster, presentation, or simple illustration. Larger deliveries mean assignments that include planning, coordination, and multiple sub-deliveries, such as a report or campaign material. The deliveries shall be usable in the municipality's own channels and tools, and it is important that the deliveries can be further developed and adapted internally. The framework agreement shall also include the design of profile material and profile articles, as well as graphic material related to use on vehicles, buildings, and work clothes, among others. Web design for arendal.kommune.no is not included in the procurement. Clear points of contact, efficient clarifications, and a good understanding of the municipality's graphic profile, communication needs, and goals for clear, accessible, and recognizable communication are important.
