Description
Life Sciences Hub Wales seeks to procure and implement a Framework Agreement for the provision of Animation. Animation in the form of graphics and video animation are required by Life Sciences Hub Wales to form part of an organisational suite of creative assets used to help delivery of key messages. The type of creative asset (animation) required in each instance is dependent upon the audience, type of messaging, budget and timeframe, and as such a framework of suitably capable and experienced animators is sought to enable timely and compliant access to suppliers as and when required. The animation procured under this framework, together with previously collated animation as part of the wider creative suite, will feature across the Life Sciences Hub Wales social media channels, website and offline marketing content. The intention is to procure a multi-supplier framework to provide ad-hoc animation to the Life Sciences Hub Wales Marketing and Communications team as and when may be required. Full details of the requirement are provided in the Invitation to Tender document uploaded to Sell2Wales (the Welsh Digital Platform).
