Aston University awarded a contract to Digitrronix Ltd, Morton Ward Ltd, Room for Design, Voiceboxx Ltd, and Whistlejacket London for a design services framework valued at AUD 800,000.

The framework establishes a roster of design agencies to supplement the University's in-house marketing and communications design team, addressing insufficient internal resource and capability to meet demand.

The contract aims to reduce non-contracted spend, improve efficiency and economies of scale, provide a seamless process for end users, enhance service level agreements for quote response and deadlines, and improve quality management of end publications.

The design services support the University's mission to be a leading UK university for students aspiring to succeed in business and the professions, delivering high-quality design solutions on time, excellence in customer service, and better relationship management between printers and designers.
