Phoenix Community Housing Estate Signage project

This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.

The new supplier will deliver a phased approach to updating and replacing our old signage and branding with new and improved notices and signs - including estate and block names and estate maps.

Phoenix has provided documentation of the number and types of signs we currently have across our estates.

However, the new supplier will need to formulate an approach to physically cross-check our documentation with what we currently have on-site within our estates and provide a new schedule of our signage within a spreadsheet.

The scale of the project will vary from just undertaking replacement of signs to introducing new signage to our estates.

It is envisaged that there will be three types of signage within the project.

A member of the Estate Services team will accompany the new supplier when touring the sites if required.

Existing signage and branding If a signage system is already in place and all that is needed is to procure new slats or a few simple additional signs, we will replace/update those.

Estate names and notice plaques If a signage scheme is required for a simple building that would not require any major wayfinding analysis, suitable signs required would be for basic information and signs for naming estates and blocks.

Removing excess signage If a signage scheme is already in place and no replacement is needed.

An analysis should be undertaken to see if some signs can be removed - especially signage that is contrary to our objectives as a resident-led housing association.

Due to the recent growth of Phoenix, we would like the new supplier to undertake the updating of signage across our new homes at Grove Park as the first phase.

Height of signage: Many of our existing signage is of mixed height.

The new supplier will undertake measurements during the physical estate analysis.

Branding: Phoenix introduced a corporate identity in 2014 to give all communications a consistent, strong, and modern look.

The corporate identity needs to be incorporated into the sign design and must not be changed or adapted in any way.

You should use our corporate brand guidelines, logos, and font to deliver a clean and timeless brand, with consistent lettering, fonts, and colours.

Phoenix will supply brand guidelines to the new supplier.
