Description
Graphic design support to make our publications shine. ATE drafts and approves content internally but we also require proof-reading and plain English support. We expect to produce up to 25 publications during the next 12 months. These range from short guides of two to four pages to a 300 page design guide. Existing examples of what ATE has produced so far include our corporate plan, our annual report and our capability ratings.
We require all our publications to be fully web accessible, meeting AA+ government accessibility guidance.
Our supplier will need to be flexible and able to make changes to publications at short notice, sometimes even being given around one working days’ notice of a design need (usually these would be for edits to a document rather than needing something designed from scratch).
The contract will be for an initial 12 month term, with the option to extend by a further 12 months at the discretion of Active Travel England.
A series of publications on a range of active travel topics to be designed including;
Rural Design Guidance (Summer 2026)
