The competitive process was conducted through an open method, designed as a below-threshold open competition. The tender was active from 17th November 2025 until the submission deadline on 3rd December 2025. The contract was subsequently awarded to THE SOCIAL MARKETING GATEWAY LIMITED, based in Glasgow, on 23rd January 2026, with the service period spanning from 2nd January 2026 to 31st March 2026. However, as of 8th April 2026, the contract status was updated to terminated due to contract completion.
