Graphic design and layout of OPH learning materials for low-circulation Finnish and Swedish basic education or upper secondary education

The subject of the procurement is the graphic design and layout service for Finnish and Swedish basic education or upper secondary education learning materials of OPH. This procurement concerns only the graphic design and layout of learning materials from the Learning Materials and Publications unit of the Finnish National Agency for Education. The general contract for graphic design and layout of the Finnish National Agency for Education will be tendered separately. The Finnish National Agency for Education (hereinafter OPH) is a national expert, developer, and service provider in education, language, and internationalization. OPH Learning Materials is the OPH's learning material publisher, which complements the selection of commercial publishers and publishes learning materials for small target groups. Learning materials are produced for different school levels (basic education, upper secondary education) and for a wide variety of learners (e.g., learning support, rare languages, religious education subjects, and various vocational fields) in both Finnish and Swedish. OPH Learning Materials is part of the agency's Learning Materials and Publications unit. There are no graphic designers working in the Learning Materials and Publications unit, so graphic services are procured as a purchased service. The unit procures, for example, the design and layout of printed books and the layout of additional materials distributed as PDF files. Purchased services also include corrections for reprints of learning materials and the design and production of marketing brochures and other marketing materials. In addition, purchased services include covers, icons, and banners for digital materials, as well as graphic presentations and maps. The services to be procured are described in more detail in Annex 1. "Description of the subject of procurement". The procurement is divided into two (2) lots: Lot 1: Graphic design and layout of learning materials for mathematics and mathematical and technical subjects Lot 2: Graphic design and layout of learning materials for subjects other than mathematics and mathematical and technical subjects For Lot 1, the tenderer must attach the following completed annexes to their offer: - Annex 3.1. Price form (lot 1) - Annex 4.1. Tenderer's reference form (lot 1) - Annex 5.1. Expert's reference form (lot 1) - Annex 6.

A maximum of five (5) suppliers will be selected for both lots, who will be ranked according to the tender evaluation criteria specified in the tender request. The tenderer may be ranked on the ranking list for both lots. It is also possible for the same tenderer to be ranked more than once. Parallel offers are permitted on an expert basis. Therefore, a tenderer may submit multiple offers if the tenderer can offer more than one expert. For example: A tenderer can offer three (3) different experts for lot 1. The tenderer submits three (3) offers, one (1) offer per expert. The tenderer's experts are ranked 1st, 3rd, and 5th in the tender evaluation. The same rankings apply to the ranking list. According to the ranking list, orders are primarily placed with the highest-ranked tenderer (in this case, the tenderer's highest-ranked expert). Framework agreements will be concluded with the suppliers ranked on the ranking lists in the framework agreement, which will enter into force as soon as the procurement decision becomes legally binding.
