Graphic and Report Design

The Social Mobility Commission (SMC) monitors progress towards improving social mobility in the UK and promotes social mobility in England. It is an independent statutory body created by an Act of Parliament.

Our aim is to work with responsive suppliers and the Social Mobility Commission is using this process as a means of finding some people we can work with - it might be more than one team to give us resilience. The statutory report - State of the Nation, is the Commission's annual landmark report and is usually very time sensitive.

In return all we will ask from you in tendering, is any examples of your work (both reports and videos/social media graphics) which are close to the type of product we are looking for and a quote for how much you would charge for the job.

Suppliers must work within the current Social Mobility Commission branding guidelines (a style guide will be sent to the winning supplier).

The Social Mobility Commission will supply all the text for the report.

The Social Mobility Commission will provide all charts and graphs/visualisation of the data in image format ( e.g. jpeg, png).

These images are not to be amended or redrawn. Adjustments of chart colours where appropriate, are permissible if they can be made to the original image supplied.

Aims

Produce a user-friendly, visually appealing version of our statutory annual report - The State of the Nation 2023. Previous report available here, this year's report should be a light redesign with updated branding where required. Deliver within a tight turnaround with the completed report supplied by mid June 2023.

Provide social media assets such as images/ animations / reels in the same style as the State of the Nation report to support the Social Mobility Commission with the promotion and distribution of the report.

Work collaboratively with the SMC team to undertake quality assurance during the finalisation process of outputs to make sure that the report is of the best quality.

Ensure the Social Mobility Commission and government accessibility standards are met.
