FRA086 - Digital Services Framework

Notice Description

WRAP is seeking to establish a Digital Framework to support our in-house Marketing & Communications team and wider organisation. The framework will provide specialist expertise and overflow capacity for digital services. This ITT invites qualified agencies and freelancers to tender for inclusion in the framework. WRAP aims to contract with a mix of agencies, and freelancers for flexible, responsive and high-quality digital support. The Digital Framework has 3 distinct lots: Digital Strategy and Marketing (Lot 1), Content-led Websites (Lot 2), Digital Applications and Services (Lot 3). It is acceptable for a supplier to sit within multiple Lots. The nature of our activities requires a trusted pool of digital suppliers capable of delivering high-impact, high quality work, sometimes on short timelines. This ITT follows a pre-market engagement (November 2025) and reflects the needs and structure informed by that exercise.
