Summary of the contracting process

The London & Partners Limited is seeking to procure content freelancers through an open tender process for two distinct lots: Lot 1 focuses on Subbing/Proofreading services and Lot 2 targets Content Writers & Producers with Sitecore expertise. The procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 29 October 2020. The estimated contract value is £50,000, and the work will primarily take place in London, United Kingdom. The selected freelancers will be engaged from 22 November 2020 through to 22 November 2021.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for freelancers in the creative services sector, particularly those with skills in content creation, editing, and proficiency in relevant software such as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Adobe Acrobat. Given the requirement for specific expertise in Sitecore and understanding of areas like foreign direct investment and tourism, businesses with a background in digital content and marketing, especially those with a focus on English, French, or German languages, would be particularly well-suited to compete for these contracts.
