How to commission design services
- Clarify your requirements and approach before contacting suppliers. Select the most appropriate lot based on the services required. Suppliers from Lot 1 shouldn’t be invited to quote for Lot 2 work and vice versa.
- Estimate the approximate cost of the work, based on knowledge of previous engagements or budget available. This will be used to determine how many suppliers should be invited to quote.
- Contact your selected suppliers to request quotes. The number of suppliers to contact is based upon the estimated cost, please refer to the table below.
- Estimated Spend: Under £2k
Minimum number of suppliers to contact: 1 - Estimated Spend £2k - £10k
Minimum number of suppliers to contact: 2 - Estimated Spend Over £10k
Minimum number of suppliers to contact: 3
- Once quotes have been returned from the suppliers they should be assessed against how well they meet the brief and the costs provided. All suppliers have had a rigorous assessment to be placed on the framework and should be able to provide quality solutions. If not using the lowest priced quote, a short written justification or file note should be kept, for audit purposes, explaining why the lowest priced solution wasn’t chosen.
- If pricing is satisfactory, a requisition can be placed, this should reference the returned quote and the framework agreement terms. A PO must be raised before work commences.
FAQs
Yes – you must only use the framework agreement suppliers for work of this nature. The suppliers on the framework have gone through a rigorous assessment process and been instructed in the use of the University brand. If you have experienced an issue with the performance or service or value for money of a supplier please contact the Brand Team.
No. For new pieces of work, new quotes should be requested. If you’re expecting to do a number of pieces of work with the same supplier over a period of time then this could be factored into the creative briefing and quotes sought for a campaign rather than an individual piece of work.
If there is an issue with pricing, terms and conditions or supplier performance, please contact Procurement. For any other issues, please contact the Brand Team.
Negotiate with the supplier to reduce costs. Otherwise, please seek alternative quotes from elsewhere on the framework.
Need Help?
If you have any further questions, please get in touch with the brand team or email procurement@warwick.ac.uk
