The Senedd may also procure under this framework services to deliver specific strategic events on the Senedd estate and across Wales.
These events aim to engage audiences in communities across Wales, increase interest in, and understanding of the Senedd and the Welsh Youth Parliament’s (WYP) work, whilst increasing brand awareness.
In these instances, corporate branding would be needed to support our work at these events. Dependent on the nature of the event, services could include but would not be limited to supplying and fitting high quality external branding and internal dressing for an exhibition stand, procuring physical structures which could include organising ground rent, lighting, flooring, wiring, decking, internal event furniture, producing branded banners, wall/window vinyls, 3D signs, branded interactive activities and information boards.
We are looking to award the contract to an organisation who can supply and fit a physical solution on to which our corporate identity can be applied. In most instances the corporate design will be supplied by our in-house designers, but suppliers could be asked to draw up designs occasionally by following our brand guidelines.
