Summary of the contracting process

Cafcass has completed the awarding stage of its tender process titled "CAF442-23 Recruitment Advertising" in the advertising and marketing services category (CPV 79340000), specifically public relations services (CPV 79416000). This restricted procedure procurement began with a tender period ending on 19th February 2024, and the contract starts on 1st June 2024, running until 31st May 2025. Key dates include the award on 10th May 2024, with the announcement published on 20th November 2024. The procurement covers activities estimated at £275,000, but the total potential value spans up to £1,100,000. The project is based in England, United Kingdom, with Cafcass, headquartered in Coventry, acting as the buying organisation.

This tender offers a substantial opportunity for growth, especially for businesses specialising in recruitment advertising within the UK. Although the buyer, Cafcass, specifies that it is not particularly inclined towards SMEs or VCSEs, companies with robust experience in large-scale advertising campaigns and strategic public relations are well-suited. The use of a selective procurement method demonstrates the potential for a competitive yet rewarding contract, allowing successful suppliers to expand their portfolio with a significant governmental client.
