Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Region Combined Authority commissioned a multi-channel marketing campaign for the LCR Be More skills, careers and apprenticeship service. The campaign is intended to raise awareness of new and existing programme features and increase registrations among several key stakeholder groups. The work is marketing services delivered in the Liverpool City Region. It covers communicating the service and its offer across multiple channels, with both awareness-raising and registration growth as objectives.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. ONE MAY STUDIO LTD was selected through a below-threshold limited competition for the single lot. The contract was signed on 11 September 2026. Its period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with an option, subject to available funding and the Authority’s discretion, to extend for a further 12 months; three months’ written notice is required before the completion date. The contract value is £59,525 excluding VAT (£71,430 including VAT). The published process data does not state the award date or the evaluation criteria.

For future marketing requirements from this buyer, a credible supplier would need to plan and deliver campaigns across multiple channels, communicate skills, careers and apprenticeship services, and build awareness while converting interest into registrations. The work calls for an approach that can address several stakeholder groups and promote both new and existing service features. Evidence of relevant campaign delivery, audience understanding, channel planning and the ability to measure or support registration growth would help demonstrate fit with this requirement. The selected supplier was a small business, showing that this contract was delivered by an SME; the stated campaign scope itself does not set out particular accreditations or specialist technical requirements.
