Notice Information

Notice Title

Provison of content versioning and distribution

Notice Description

The Cabinet Office is responsible for the delivery of a wide range of communication campaigns either solely as a Department or campaigns that require a cross-government response. Many of the campaigns are planned in advance and align with the Government's long term strategic priorities, however there are occasions when campaigns are required at extremely short notice in order to react to an immediate and unforeseen situation. CO requires a supplier to take the master creative asset from a creative agency and provide content versioning and supply of assets as per media plan requirements. This will be a standby agreement on a zero commitment basis.
