        "description": "Life Sciences Hub Wales seeks to procure and implement a Framework Agreement for the provision of Copywriting services. The intention is to procure a multi-supplier framework to provide ad-hoc copywriting support to the Life Sciences Hub Wales Marketing and Communications team, as and when may be required. Primarily the requirement for externally sourced copywriting via the Copywriting Framework will be driven by the need for additional resource, and as such the framework will most likely be accessed by Life Sciences Hub Wales during periods of reduced capacity or to meet the demands of an increased workload. Therefore the principle desired outcome of the Copywriting Framework is the availability of suitably capable and experienced copywriters able to deliver output to the standard and timelines required by Life Sciences Hub Wales. Life Sciences Hub Wales envisages support on a range of copywriting content. As an indication, the scope of the requirement is likely to include, but is not limited to, the following: - Case studies. - Presentations. - Annual Reports. - Newsletters. - Marketing collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, note that the above is not considered an all-encompassing or exhaustive list of the Life Sciences Hub Wales copywriting requirement, and is provided as a high-level indication only at this stage.",
