Procurement for Annual Report & Accounts Design

Description

As part of its reporting requirements, Border to Coast currently produces three formal reports – the Annual Report & Accounts (ARA), the Responsible Investment & Stewardship (“RIS”) Report, and the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”)/Climate Change Report. As well as meeting mandatory legal requirements, these reports are essential publications used to provide our key audiences – our Partner Funds, colleagues, suppliers, and future employees – with an update on who we are, the progress we have made, and our priorities for the future. We are looking for support for the continuing evolution of the structure and layout, design, production and presentation of all three of our three formal reports to align with industry best practice. This includes: • Project management – from concepts to completion • Content and creative concepts, including support on structure and layout • Design development • Typesetting • Proofing • Infographic design • Artworking / image retouching • Interactive PDF to be published on the Border to Coast website, and/or alternative format/s for publishing the reports digitally. The written content will initially be produced by Border to Coast although the chosen supplier will liaise with us to ensure copy and design work effectively together. Border to Coast will retain the intellectual rights of the reports. The procurement process will be managed via ProContract, bidders will need to put forward an Expression of Interest - https://procontract.due-north.com/Register to access the tender documents.
