Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves ICS acting on behalf of DSIT and DESNZ, managing the award for the supply of production services under the CCS Framework RM6125 Campaign Solutions 2, specifically for lot 3, which focuses on Content Versioning and Distribution. The awarded contract's objective is to ensure content versioning and distribution services to support DESNZ campaigns across various regions, including the United Kingdom and internationally. The procurement is in the award stage, with Tag Europe Limited identified as the supplier chosen through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The process has a substantial value totalling £2,000,000 GBP, with the contract period starting on 20th August 2025 and concluding on 18th August 2027.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in creative content production and distribution services across diverse locations, including Europe and British Overseas Territories. Large-scale businesses that can rapidly produce and scale creative solutions, particularly those adept at supporting dynamic campaign environments, would be well-suited to this opportunity. Given the selective procurement method, businesses with the ability to engage with framework agreements and deliver consistent, high-quality outputs under specified timelines can leverage this contract for expansive business growth and increased market presence. The involvement of large firms rather than SMEs or VCSEs indicates that high-capacity operations are valued in fulfilling the contract's demands efficiently.
