Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow Life (Culture & Sport Glasgow) procured a multi-lot framework for marketing services (CPV 79342000), delivered in Glasgow. The scope covers eight distinct requirements: creative concept and design; marketing consultancy; public relations and communications; market research; digital marketing; videography; photography; and the supply and delivery of promotional items. This is a broad marketing requirement spanning strategic advice, campaign development, communications, research, digital activity, visual content production and promotional merchandise. Suppliers may therefore be relevant for one specialist service or several complementary areas, although the procurement treated each requirement as a separate lot. Glasgow Life is both the buyer and a central purchasing body.

The procurement is complete and awards are active. It used an open procedure under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, with electronic submission and English-language bids. Suppliers could bid for up to eight lots, with quality weighted at 55% and price at 45%; variants were not allowed. Each lot had a 720-day contract period and an option, at the buyer’s discretion, to extend by up to 24 months in 12-month intervals. Contracts were signed on 22 July 2026. A contract value of £3,535,032 is recorded for each of the eight lots, in GBP; these figures are stated separately and have not been totalled. The process received 20 bids for creative design, seven each for consultancy, digital marketing, videography and photography, eight for PR, six for market research and two for promotional items.

This framework demonstrates recurring demand from Glasgow Life for both specialist and integrated marketing capability. The appointed supplier mix shows that the buyer uses small and specialist businesses across strategy, communications, research, digital marketing, design, film, photography and promotional products. A credible future competitor would need to show two relevant examples from the previous three years, comparable in nature, scale and complexity, covering objectives, audiences, channels, outcomes and measurable impact. It would also need sound financial standing: positive pre-tax performance over three years, positive net worth and no insolvency process. Required or obtainable insurance levels were £10 million employers’ liability, £5 million public and product liability, and £1 million professional indemnity. Subcontractor payment controls and relevant certificates would also matter.
