    Description

    Summary:

    The Department of Canadian Heritage (PCH) hosts national events related to its mandate and objectives. The Capital Experience Production Services team within PCH coordinates the provision of services, the implementation of the events, the concept development, the fabrication and installation of signage and graphic elements. These processes are carried out in collaboration with internal and external clients, such as event programming, marketing, business development, interpretation and commemorative programs and with other departments. Each event has a specific graphic identity or “appearance” that reflects PCH’s overall identity and is applied to the various signage components used to meet visual communications needs. Furthermore, standard graphic layouts or “templates” are created to simplify the application of text in the various formats used.

    PCH is seeking outside suppliers to provide the full range of professional services involved in producing, printing and installing exhibit signage and decors required to mount for events. This Request for Standing Offer invites printing and sign-making suppliers to submit offers for the work specified in this document.
