Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by Clarion Housing Group, is focused on the provision of "Creative, Design and Microsite Services" within the advertising and marketing services industry. The buyer is located in London, United Kingdom, and the process has reached the award stage with a direct award method, primarily intended for continuity of existing services. The most recent contract details show Identity Limited as the supplier, with responsibilities for hosting and managing microsites associated with key development projects such as Cocoa Works and Twyford Park. The contract, valued at £300,000, commenced on 3rd July 2026 and is set to conclude on 15th February 2028, with award completion confirmed on 6th July 2026. The procurement's legal framework adheres to the Procurement Act 2023/54, ensuring compliance and continuity.

This tender represents a robust opportunity for businesses specialising in creative and digital design services, particularly those experienced in managing digital platforms and brand stewardship. The procurement process was completed through a direct award due to the critical need for replacement and continuation of existing services, suggesting businesses with a historical relationship or similar experience with the buyer may find significant advantage. Firms capable of delivering high-quality marketing solutions and digital infrastructure management could leverage this industry demand, particularly those classified as small and medium enterprises (SMEs), well-suited to compete and deliver nuanced, bespoke solutions needed by high-profile developments managed by Clarion Housing Group.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Creative, Design and Microsite Services

Notice Description

Marketing agency design services including hosting microsites for the Cocoa Works, Cocoa Gardens and Twyford Park schemes.

Procurement Information

In line with Schedule 5, Paragraph 7 of the Procurement Act - this Direct Award is compliant on the basis of the Supplier's services being a "replacement of existing services". The original Contract for these services was awarded via competition. Since then, this Contract has expired, hence the required Direct Award to provide continuity of service. A change in Supplier, in this instance, would result in Latimer "receiving services that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing (or previously provided) services". The Supplier currently host and manages the microsites for The Cocoa Works and Cocoa Garden, and Latimer require the same services at Twyford Park. The Supplier serves as Brand Guardian for these key Latimer developments and not awarding this Contract to them risks disrupting the creative output and web-hosting services supporting Latimer's flagship private-sale developments (at these sites), which constitutes a "difference or incompatibility (which) would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance".
