Specifications include, but are not limited to: UNC Charlotte has consolidated its partnerships with marketing, design, communications, and production contractors into a more unified, manageable, and centrally directed set of relationships. Combining these activities into a single program allows for the reduction of service costs and improvement of the strategic focus for University communications. UNC Charlotte has organized its communications needs into four basic categories and plans to select a limited number of contractors through this solicitation who will produce the end products for any Colleges, Units, or Groups on campus who require these services. The categories that will be addressed are Graphic Design, Web Design, Media Production, and Public Relations. All projects will be coordinated through collaboration among the respective campus client, the contractor and the University Communications department. Face to face interaction on campus between the contractors and the respective project coordinators is an integral part of all work so preference will be given to contractors based in the greater Charlotte, NC area to facilitate ease of scheduling meetings.
